Key Matches for UK Viewers<\/b><\/h2>\n

Table positions are as they stood after July.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Scotland v New Zealand (Sat 7 Nov, 14:10):<\/b> Scotland are a point behind France and New Zealand are level with South Africa, so the winner takes a big step towards the top of their table.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • England v New Zealand (Sat 21 Nov, 14:10):<\/b> England’s last game before Finals Weekend is against a side that won all three of its July games, and it could decide where England finish.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Ireland v South Africa (Sat 21 Nov, 16:40):<\/b> South Africa topped the South in July without losing, and with Finals Weekend up next, the result could settle where both teams finish.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Wales v Australia (Sat 21 Nov, 20:10):<\/b> Wales are fifth in the North and Australia third in the South, so a win could lift either side up the table before Finals Weekend.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

     <\/p>\n

The job, broadly, is getting people to read things they were fully prepared to scroll past. At 7bet, what I write about is sports and casinos. I follow my favourite football team with a devotion my family finds faintly alarming: I don't miss a single match, friendlies included. I'm a bit more sheepish about the casino and betting side. It started with an embarrassing number of hours at the blackjack table in Red Dead Redemption 2, then spiralled into a genuine interest in all things casino. Make of that what you will.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/melaniegervasoni\/"],"url":"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/author\/melanie-gervasoni\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24091","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24091"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24091\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24094,"href":"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24091\/revisions\/24094"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12485"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24091"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24091"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24091"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
