Another Sunday in the Rugby World Cup means another exciting game. This time, we will have South Africa v Romania at the Stade de Bordeaux on the 17th of September. All of the action will kick off at 2 p.m. IST.

Our match officials will be Mathieu Raynal, Angus Gardner, and Pierre Brousset. Down in the TMO bunker will be Brett Cronan.

The two nations have met on the rugby field only once before, when the Springboks managed a comfortable victory of 21-8. Fans' opinions are split on this one: whether Stejarii will manage a slim loss or suffer an almighty defeat. Could a third option of a surprise Romanian romp be on the cards? Let's get into my South Africa v Romania prediction.

🔍 South Africa v Romania Winner Prediction

The odds seem stacked against Romania for this early-round clash. The Irish have already thrown down the gauntlet to all other Rugby World Cup teams when they beat Stejarii 82-8 in their Ireland v Romania encounter last Saturday. I believe the Springboks will look to pick up that gauntlet and hammer the Balkan nation by an even bigger score in this match. South Africa have already proved themselves through good game management in their first outing in the competition against Scotland, so the three-time RWC winners and defending champions will be confident that this game is theirs for the taking. I'm excited to see Romania play, as there is usually very little coverage of international sides outside of Six Nation teams, but I sadly can't see the Europeans mustering enough quality to overturn what could likely be an 80-point defeat.

✔️ South Africa v Romania Betting Tips

1️⃣ Match Winner: South Africa to Win

In the words of Johnny Depp in Donnie Brasco, forget about it! Odds of South Africa to win at 1.001 at BoyleSports are microscopic, so I wouldn't bother with the match winner.

2️⃣ Handicap Winner: South Africa to Win (-75.5)

It's sad to have to predict how badly I think a team may get beaten, but putting the emotions to one side, I can see the Springboks making this an 80-point game. With that in mind, I think South Africa to win (-75.5) at 2.37 at Betway would be an excellent option for a potential return of over double your wager, should the Springboks manage at least a 76-point game. As I always say, however, there are no guarantees in rugby. If you fancy a flutter, gamble responsibly.
