The more recent head to head history tells a tale of Australian dominance but the wins have by and large been narrow in terms of the scoreline and this looks really tricky. The Wallabies dominated territory in two Rugby Championship clashes with the Springboks but they only won the home game and I see this being at least as tough as their visit to the Boks in Pretoria where they lost (18-10) despite not conceding a try.

I fancy the 1-12 point margin markets are a runner here and my preference, at the price, is for Wales to edge a nailbiter.

Bet: Wales to win by 1-12 points inclusive 

Although there is plenty of Southern Hemisphere, including South African representation in the Barbarians line up I feel the Boks will have enough to start the tour on a positive note. The line has shifted to a bigger minus that what was available first show and some books have opted to hold fire but I’m happy enough to go Boks in the HT/FT market at evens.

Bet: Half time / Full time South Africa / South Africa even money at 

With seven uncapped players starting and half a dozen more on the bench the Japan side is something of an unknown quantity but neither side is at full strength and it will be interesting to see how Japan start a new era.

I’m going to go with the plus though it’s a tentative call at best.

Bet: Japan +16.5 points 17/20
