We have our Wallabies vs Japan prediction for the 2nd test on Saturday, August 15, at 5:15 PM, where the Wallabies look to wrap up the series 2-0.
Queensland Country Bank Stadium hosts the international rugby test, where the Wallabies are -16.5 favourites to produce a much better performance than what they showed in Japan last week.
Our Wallabies vs Japan tips look at the best bets for the big game, and the latest rugby odds are available at the TAB.
It’s a matter of faith when betting on the 2026 Wallabies, who we haven’t quite figured out yet.
They showed some talent during the Nations Championship when playing well against Ireland before losing late. They then lost to France before bouncing back with a big effort to thrash Italy.
However, last week’s 35-32 win over Japan wasn’t inspiring, so they’ll need to be much better at home on Saturday. Luckily, playing in North Queensland should provide the Wallabies with every chance of hitting back with a one-sided win, and the current line at TAB suggests as much.
They have enough quality players to put up a big score on Japan, who, to their credit, fought gamely to go down by only three points last week. There is no doubt that Japan has improved to another level over the last few years, but if Australia wants to be considered as a top-tier nation, they need to win convincingly.
We’re giving the Wallabies another chance to make a statement, so our Wallabies vs Japan prediction has the hosts covering the -16.5 spread.
There won’t be a lack of points in Saturday’s contest. We predict a high-scoring affair, as we saw in Japan, and conditions should be ideal for running rugby in North Queensland.
They combined for 67 points last week, and although we have Japan scoring less than 32 points in the 2nd test, we also have the Wallabies scoring more than 35 points. Our projections have the Wallabies scoring 40+ points, and there should be plenty of tries scored.
It’s one of our best rugby tips this week, and it should cruise home for punters. Australia could put up a big first-half score before taking their foot off the gas in the final 20 minutes, but the damage should have already been done.
Include over 63.5 points in your rugby tips this week.
The Wallabies should come out with a point to prove, and with conditions suiting their style of rugby, they should score over 19.5 points in the first half.
As they showed against Italy, they can put tries on the board in quick succession, and if Japan is affected by the travel, they could struggle to contain the slick backline from the Wallabies, which includes Max Jorgensen.
Our Wallabies vs Japan prediction has the hosts scoring 3+ tries in the first half, and if they’re converted, scoring over 19.5 points shouldn’t be too hard. We would be surprised if they didn’t dominate the first 40 minutes, so include this option with rugby picks.
Our Japan vs Wallabies prediction features a same game multi, which pays $5.84 with the TAB.
The SGM hinges on Australia making a fast start and putting plenty of tries on the board in the first half. The Wallabies over 19.5 first-half points and first half highest scoring half depend on them starting well.
It’s a same-game multi bet worth taking, and the odds are good considering the one-sided betting market.
