Tri Nations crunch time


Tommorrow sees the decider of the 2008 Tri Nations, but sadly, the world champions play no part. The Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane plays host to the All Blacks versus Australia.

New Zealand and Australia have played each other twice so far this season, and it stands at one win apiece. Both of those victories were big ones, and they came within a week of each other – Australia smashed the All Blacks in Sydney, and the Kiwis returned the favour and then some in Auckland. The All Blacks are still slight favourites, but they are expecting a big backlash from the Aussies, and have said the Boks did them no favours by h! ammering Robbie Deans's side in South Africa.
