Six Nations 2021

Six Nations 2021

As the world continues to navigate its way through the pandemic that is COVID-19, the return to sports has been a haphazard one. Sporting bodies and Joe Public have had to reassess how we deliver and view sporting events. Since the return to sports, there have been various strategies employed to ensure player safety. Player exclusion methods such as the ‘bubble’ approach and playing in front of empty stadiums are just some of the measures adopted. The Guinness Six Nations 2021 is no different. Home ground advantage seems like a bit of a fallacy without the various fans being present. Nonetheless, we can be thankful that the tournament is happening and what a cracker it is turning out to be!

2020 tournament

2020 champions England are hoping to make it back-to-back victories in the tournament. While France hope to go one step further than their 2nd place finish in 2020. The 2020 showcase was a strange one in that due to COVID-19, the last round of matches was played in October. With the tournament originally scheduled to conclude on the 14th March. Therefore with essentially only a 3-month break between the 2020 and 2021 tournaments, one would feel that there shouldn’t be too many surprises as to who the main contenders will be this time around.

Six Nations 2021 teams

The 6 Nations tournament pits the might of the United Kingdom (in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales) up against the flair of the French and the perennial wooden spooners Italy. Scotland and Italy are the only 2 nations who haven’t won the 6 Nations format which was established in 2000 when Italy joined. While there is no reason to believe Italy could mount a challenge, the Scots come off a successful 2020 tournament. And thus should be upbeat about their chances (only losing to Ireland and England).

Ireland seem to have come off the boil the past few seasons, last winning in 2018. The Welsh have also struggled to find their 2019 form when they were victors. The youthful French team who lost out on points difference in 2020 will believe that they are capable of winning. While the pressure will sit firmly with England. The form team of the past few years, England, will have to deliver some strong performances to keep top spot in 2021.

2021 Six Nations tournament so far

After 2 rounds of the 2021 edition, only Wales and France remain unbeaten. Wales can consider themselves lucky to an extent. Both of their victories against Ireland and Scotland came against teams reduced to 14 men for red card offences. Teams must ride their luck though, and the Welsh now have the momentum that winning brings. Alun Wyn Jones and his team will no doubt have begun to believe that they can make a success of this year’s tournament. The French have not won since 2010 and will feel that this is their year. Last year’s runners up were clinical against Italy, and subsequently put away the Irish in Dublin in their second game. If they can avoid the inconsistencies stereotypical of French rugby, then they are strong contenders for the title.

Going into the 2021 six nations tournament as favourites, England were beaten by a passionate Scottish team in their first game. Winning against their arch-rivals at Twickenham for the first time since 1983 was a big result for the plucky Scots. Losing a tight affair to Wales in their second game would have been a disappointing result for the men from the north. How they bounce back will ultimately decide where they finish on the log. As expected, England bounced back with a resounding victory against Italy in their second game. They will still have their sights firmly set on winning the tournament. Beating France and Wales will go a long way in achieving this, but can it be done?

The Irish & The Italians

The Irish, without a win and still trying to find their feet under new coach Andy Farrell, will really just be focused on finding their cohesion. And hopefully squeezing out a win or two along the way. They must use this tournament as a building phase for the next period of Irish rugby. They will ultimately be looking to go one up on the achievements realised under previous coach Joe Schmidt. Which is no easy task by any measure.

Speaking of difficulties, the Italians find themselves in an all too familiar position at the bottom of the log. Comprehensively beaten by both France and England, Italy will do well to avoid the bottom of the table yet again. It is hard to envision who the current Italian team could target a win against. Staying competitive for longer in games may have to be their only realistic goal for this year’s 6 Nations 2021.

Favourites

While all the teams will be aiming for success, the eventual victors will come from a smaller pool. Italy will do well to win a game, which may not be achievable this year. Ireland are trying to find their identity again and are firmly in the building phase. They are mid-table finishers at best. Wales’s results have been fortuitous thus far- their victories have been unconvincing. A mid-table finish is easy to believe for them. That leaves England, France, and Scotland. A third-place finish would be a great result for the Scots. While they are surely hoping for more, third may be as far as they can go this year. One must feel that the matchup between England and France will be the decider. Whoever manages to win that encounter on March 13th will most likely have one hand firmly on the trophy.

Whichever way the results go, one thing is certain. Having regular sport being played again is a privilege the world won’t take for granted again in a hurry. The Guinness 6 Nations kicks off the international rugby scene for the year. And if the games played so far are an indication of the standard for the rest of the year, 2021 will be an exciting one indeed.

Head over to our Best Betting Rugby Sites to place a bet on these highly anticipated Six Nations 2021 games.

Gbets Lucky Numbers Betting

Gbets Lucky Numbers Betting

We have a closer look at Gbets’ Lucky Numbers offering as this betting site is also the home of Sout Africa’s biggest lucky number jackpots.

Introduction to Lucky Numbers Betting

One important point we want to clarify upfront is what lucky numbers or lotto betting actually is, as there is a major difference to standard lotto gameplay.

The standard way is that you usually buy a ticket to your chosen lottery, either at your local shop or also online. In comparison, when you bet on lotto and lucky numbers you do not actually enter a certain draw and therefore do not hold a ticket. You rather place a fixed odd bet on the outcome of the respective draw. Your bet slip can be seen as your virtual ticket. The odds do vary across the bookmakers, the same way as the odds for regular sports betting do.

As you do not hold a ticket you will also not be paid by the lottery itself but rather by your bookmkaer. One great advantage of online lotto betting is that in case of more than one winner you do not need to share. Lucky Numbers betting is a great way to participate in lotteries around the world which would otherwise not be accessible to you.

In summary, when you bet on lucky numbers or lotto online you

  1. do not enter the actual lottery and have no ticket.
  2. will be paid by your bookmaker if you win.
  3. do not need to share any winnings with other players that might have picked the same numbers.
  4. have access to a lot more draws than you would have otherwise.

Now that we have clarified this point let’s move on to what Gbets actually offers and how you can get started with lucky numbers betting.

Gbets lucky numbers portfolio

Gbets has a whole part of its site dedicated to lucky numbers. For its online lotto betting section the bookmaker has partnered with Turfsport. Therefore you can enjoy a seamless experience across all devices.

When you click on the Lucky Numbers tab online or on mobile you will see 5 sub categories:

  • Numbers
  • Jackpots
  • Results
  • Mega 7
  • Spin2Wheels

When you click on either Mega 7 or Spin2Wheels you automatically enter the chosen Golden Race game and can start placing your bets. We have written detailed reviews for both games which you can find in our Lucky Number games section.

In the Numbers category you find 4 additional categories:

  • 5BOP (see below)
  • Upcoming: Here you have access to lots of national and international lotteries. Pick you preferred one such as Russia GoSloto or UK 49s Lunchtime, select your betting type from the betting options listed under ‘BET NOW’ and decide which draw you would like to enter. Once you have added all your bets to your bet slip you will be clearly shown your stake and possible winnings.
  • Live, which is another way to enter Mega 7 and Spin 2 Wheels.
  • Favourites: you can mark certain draws as your favourites by clicking the ‘Star’ symbol. Once you marked your preferred draw it will appear in this tab for quick access.

Refer a Friend Betting Offers

There is nothing better than watching great sports with good friends. Wouldn’t it be great if you could also share the betting excitement? A few bookmakers offer special ‘Refer a Friend’ bonuses. So, if you have a couple of mates who are not yet playing with you on a certain bookmaker you like betting with then these offers can be a great way for both of you.

In this article we have put together the currently available ‘Refer a Friend’ promotions across the best betting sites in South Africa.

Betting referral promotions

As you can see from the below table there are quite a few online betting sites that feature a Refer-a-Friend offer at the moment. On most of them you as the referee will get a bonus (for example with the Hollywood Bets Refer a friend offer) but others such as WSB and GG Gaming reward both you and your friend.

Massiv Bet review logo R50 Refer a Friend bonusGo to Massiv Bet
Supabets online sports betting logo R50 Refer a Friend bonusVisit Supabets

Other bookmaker such as Betway do not offer a refer a friend program but on the other hand welcome any new player with a free sign up bonus. Betway is not the only one and there are quite a few other bookies that currently do not feature a referral promotion, including bet.co.za, Palacebet and MG Sports Betting.

How to Refer a Friend (RAF)

There are some differences in the set up of the betting referral program and bonus conditions per bookmaker but in general the following steps apply when inviting your friends to bet with you online:

  1. Invite your friend to join you on your preferred betting site. This can be done directly via your bookmaker account or on site. The invite usually goes via email or SMS so you need to enter your referral’s email address or phone number. Make sure that your friend signs up via the respective link for you to benefit.
  2. Your friend gets the invite, loves the betting site and signs up.
  3. Your friend follows the bonus rules which often imply account verification and a first deposit.
  4. You receive your RAF bonus directly in your account – and if it’s part of the offer your friend does too. Please check the T&Cs of the refer a friend bonus for each bookie before inviting your mates.

There are usually no limitations regarding the number of friends you can invite. Therefore, if you enjoy playing at a certain bookmaker why not tell your friends and share the betting fun. With some bookmakers you will both be rewarded with a free betting bonus – double win win. Or as they say, sharing is caring.

A few general rules to keep in mind:

  • You (the referee) must have an active, FICA’d account with the betting site you want to refer friends to.
  • Your friend (the referral) does not yet have an account with this bookmaker (and never had one in the past).
  • Ensure you invite your friend via the respective refer a friend form and/or that your friend uses the right link.
  • Your friend must usually comply with certain criteria. Hence, after successfully registering and verifying (FICA) his/her new account there is usually the need to make a first deposit and wager it before the referral reward is credited to you or both your accounts. The required amount might vary as do the T&CS of the offers. Therefore, familiarise yourself with the requirements beforehand.
  • The refer a friend bonuses have usually wagering requirements that you need to meet before you are able to cash out any winnings.
  • Betting and gambling can be addictive for some. Therefore, do not invite friends that might have a problem as betting and gambling should be fun and done responsibly.

Other offers to share with friends

Some bookmakers go over and above ‘Refer a Friend’ rewards. Lately a couple of betting sites allow you to share bets with your friends or even gift bets.

Gbets’ brand-new feature ‘Gift a Bet’ has just been added onto their site. You decide on a bet, pay for it and gift it to a friend. This is not just a nice gesture but in general an excellent way to share the fun of betting with your friends. To find out more about this offer and others have a read through our dedicated Gift a Bet article.

Pakistan vs. South Africa Test Match Series Review

And that’s all she wrote. The Pakistan vs. South Africa Test Match Series Review was hyped up to be something special and of big significance. The first test series for a visiting South Africa to Pakistan since 2007. This would also be the first time for majority of the players to play in Pakistan itself. Those players who have played against Pakistan would have done so either on home soil or at a neutral venue such as Abu Dhabi or Dubai. All because of ongoing security fears.

Betting on cricket in the subcontinent is a big deal. If you are new to online cricket betting, why not read our cricket betting strategy and tips article.

With players already having to live in bio-bubbles because of the COVID pandemic, the added security surely could play a role on the mental aptitude of the players. But what the added security did give us was South Africa playing in the subcontinent against a familiar foe. We sure did enjoy watching both tests.

Team Performance Coming into Series

Pakistan came into the test series with a LLDDL record. With their most recent loss against New Zealand resulting in an innings and 176 runs. They also only once scored more than 300 runs in their last 10 innings played. South Africa on the other hand came of their first series win – against Sri Lanka – since 2019 and was hoping to carry the momentum into the Pakistan series. South Africa’s recent form read, WWLLL.

1st Test Highlights and Summery

The first test was played in Karachi between Jan 26 – Jan 29 2021. 2 Players made their test debut, both in the Pakistani team. They were Imran Butt and Nauman Ali. The latter also picking up a match defining five-wicket haul in South Africa’s 2nd innings.

South Africa never really got going, posting a mediocre total of just 220 all out in their first innings. Dean Elgar was the leading run scorer with a hard fought 58 of 106 balls. With no real threatening partnership and with Pakistan picking up wickets at regular intervals, the visitors found themselves on the backfoot early in the test.

Pakistan came out with intent, but 2 quick wickets by Rabada had the hosts pegged back for a while. Azar Ali stood firm while 2 more quick wickets fell around him, and Pakistan found themselves on 4-27. That is until Fawad Alam joined him at the crease. The pair started the rebuilding process and added 94 runs before Ali was removed. Alam stuck around a little longer and again formed a strong partnership with Faheem Ashraf when they put 102 runs on the board taking Pakistan into the lead. Pakistan finished their 1st innings on 378, a lead of 158 with Fawad Alam scoring a 109 runs.

Can South Africa Rebuild?

With a mountain to climb South Africa started their 2nd innings with caution, it paid off with Elgar and Markram adding 48 runs before Elgar lost his wicket for 29. It looked like Markram finally started finding some form when he and Rassie van der Dussen put on 127 for the 2nd wicket partnership. South Africa looked like they were rebuilding and doing so well. The score 175/1.

It was not to be. The loss of van der Dussen’s wicket sparked a massive collapse. The only notable score was Bavuma’s 40. South Africa managing to add only 58 runs to their overnight score before being bowled out for 245, a lead of 88.

Although Pakistan lost 2 early wickets, both taken by Nortje, in their chase of 88, they were not going to let this win slip away. The hosts reached their total in 23.5 overs.

It was only Pakistan’s fifth win over South Africa while it was South Africa’s eighth successive defeat on the subcontinent.

The 2nd test only a couple of days away, South Africa with a lot of troubleshooting to do. Can they level the series?

2nd Test Highlights and Summery

Still licking their wounds from the loss, a couple of days back, South Africa was hoping they could turn things around and level the series in Rawalpindi.

Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat. South Africa started well with Maharaj, who would end the innings with figures of 3-90, picked up the wicket of Imran Butt in the 12th over. Maharaj in his next over removed the new batsmen, Azhar Ali for 0. In 15th over, Nortje picked up his 1st of what would be a 5-for when he removed Abid Ali for 6. Pakistan finding themselves in a difficult position on 3-22.

With Azam and Alam at the crease the pair stood firm putting together a 4th wicket partnership of 123 runs. Bavuma ran out Alam with a clear hit of the stumps when he tried to pinch a single on the offside. Pakistan continued to put meaningful partnership together but apart from Faheem Ashraf scoring an unbeaten 78, there we no other batsmen making it into double figures. With Maharaj and Nortje cleaning up the tail with relative ease. Nortje ending his innings with figures of 5-56. Pakstan 1st innings total, 272.

How will South Africa Respond?

South Africa started in familiar fashion by losing one of their openers cheaply. First to go was SA’s highest scoring batsmen in the 1st test 1st innings Elgar. Out for 21. Van der Dussen was out the very next ball. South Africa lost wickets at regular intervals with Faf Du Plessis out on 17 while batting with Bavuma. Bavuma managed to carry his bat to the end of the innings, this does not mean he scored a lot of runs, ending the day on an unbeaten 44. South Africa losing 5 wickets for 37 runs in their 1st innings.

Pakistan started their 2nd innings with a 71-run lead. South Africa had an early breakthrough getting Imran Butt out for 0. Again, Pakistan managed to create valuable partnerships. The standout batsmen of Pakistand’s 2nd innings came from the new captain, Mohammad Rizwan, ending the innings unbeaten on 115. Although South Africa took regular wickets, it just was not enough. Standout bowling performance coming from George Linde, picking up his first 5-wicket haul. South Africa need a total of 370 runs to win the match. If it was to be done, would have been the highest successful run chase in Pakistan.

Can South Africa Level The Series?

It was going to be a monumental ask. But we know SA was capable of chasing down 370. They had the time and they definitely have the talent.

South Africa started well, with Markram finally standing firm and reading the ball managed to build meaningful partnerships. A solid 94-run partnership with van der Dussen for the 2nd wicket, followed but a 106-run partnership with Bavuma after Faf fell for 5. South Africa looked good and in the driving seat on 241 for 3. Requiring only 129 runs for a famous victory, it was not to be. Markram, scoring his first century since 2018 fell shortly after lunch. The very next ball removed captain de Cock, leaving Bavuma and the tail to chase 129 runs. South Africa lost their last 7 wickets for a meagre 33 runs, and with that the chance to level the series.

Hasan Ali, picking up another 5 wickets to add to is 1st innings 5-wicket haul ended the match with figures of 10-114. A man of the match performance. This was Pakistan’s first series win over South Africa in 17 years.

Takeaway of the Test Series

This loss also means South Africa have now lost four of their last 5 test series and 10 of their last 13 test matches.

Although South Africa have some positives to take away from the defeat, such as Markram finding some form there is a lot for the team and staff to consider. De Kock has struggled for runs since taking over the captaincy from Faf, but at least it looks like he will be relieved of the burden.

This leaves South Africa with a Test captaincy dilemma. At least one they do not have to rush to fill. With the incoming tour of Australia cancelled as result of Covid fears, there is time. South Africa is not scheduled to play a test match again during the summer.

Next South Africa shift their attention to the shorter format of the game. 3 T20I scheduled, the first on the 11th of February. All to be played in Lahore. Let’s hope they can get back to winning ways.
