If you don’t see them, you’ll hear them. Loyal rugby fans (whether they make rugby bets or not) have a passion that has caused many “howls” to bellow across neighbourhoods. When the Sharks score against the Blue Bulls, Durban erupts into an echoing “hoorah” and children of Gauteng learn new “colourful” language from the Bulls supporters; even if it is all the way next door.
Then there are times that have bound South Africans like no other. The 1995 World Cup where the whole world endured a game that went into extra time only to witness a victory that spread its influence much further than the lines drawn on the grass of the Ellis Park field. The world heard South Africa roar as one as we watched how our very own, late and great, Nelson Mandela presented François Pienaar with the Webb Ellis Cup. Pienaar thrust the Cup above his head with a palatable, infectious pride that deafened the sporting, political and cultural realms.
South Africans, arguably, understand when the stakes are high better than anyone else. This is why, since 1995 Rugby World Cup, betting has only gained traction. The moment has been engraved into our hearts, our history and our sporting prowess – postulating that the Springboks had united an entire nation.
The stakes were high and Sunbet can give you a rush that may never compare to 1995, but get people more invested in the outcomes of a match than you thought we were before.

SunBet's rugby betting markets are extensive to allow punters to place a bet on a vast array of possible outcomes pre-match, such as the winner of the game or Live in-Play bets such as point handicaps. Peruse some of the markets available to bet on below:
A straightforward rugby bet - where a punter places their bet on one of the three possible outcomes of the match: A win/ loss, or a draw.
Handicap Betting usually occurs when the two teams are not evenly matched with one of the teams being considered to be the favourite, resulting in the odds for the favourite often being too low and not presenting value for a punter. That is where a points handicap bet allows punters to bet on the final points margin between the two teams.
If the said handicap is -5.5 and Team A is considered to be the favourite, then they would have to win with a points difference of more than 5.5. If they win by 5 points or less, then for the purpose of the handicap bet, Team B are considered winners. If Team A wins by 6 points or more, then Team A is considered to have beaten their points handicap.
Betting on Total Game Points which is also known as Over/Under is another popular rugby bet. The objective of the punter is to bet whether the combined total number of points scored will be over or under a certain number set by the bookmaker.
