vs<\/div>\n
Ireland<\/div>\n
Saturday 18th July 7:10 PM (NZST) at Eden Park, Auckland<\/div>\n
New Zealand -10.5 @ $1.90<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/use><\/svg><\/span>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

It hasn\u2019t been an amazing start to the tournament for the All Blacks, but they\u2019re unbeaten, and that\u2019s all that Dave Rennie would have wanted. They got through a tough match against France in Christchurch, and although the score was close in the end, they never looked like losing. It was also close against Italy after 40 minutes last week, but the ABs eventually found their rhythm. Playing at Eden Park is a huge boost for the home side, and even good Irish teams have failed to win at the fortress. Considering the venue, the -10.5 line is generous from the TAB, so include the All Blacks -10.5 in all Nations Championship bets this week.<\/p>\n
