Tri-Nations is looking good.
I'm pulling for South Africa. I have a soft spot for the Boks.

I have to be up at three in the morning to "try" and catch a radio transmission.
It begins 8 am, British time, subtract 5 hrs...
I hope the Boks pull it off, but the All Blacks are on form, especially at home. Christchurch, home of the Crusiaders. Until a few weeks ago, I didn't understand where that name came from, now I know!

Go the AB's I think it'll be a good encounter with some hard knocks and could go either way.The springboks are also on form but its a hard one to judge how they'll do. I predict 17-11 to the all blacks

I was hoping that the Boks would hang on...I thought they had it too! That's the worst thing about rugby, if you see a team progressing out of the midfield and look like they're going to score, there's nothing no one can do about it.

Who do you think will take the Tri-Nations?
New Zealand?
South Africa?
Australia?
I'd like to see South Africa take it, but they haven't since 1995. The All Blacks are on form, beating the shit out of England a few months back. Deep down inside, I know the All Blacks are the strongest side in the world...
Damn.

Actually, I was reading the August issue of Rugby World and it had an article about allowing Argentina to join the Tri-Nations. Personally, I think the Pumas are fast growing team, along with Portugal and one day they are going to need to be taken seriously.
Argentina doesn't have much competion, but when the face tough teams, they perform.

they had an excellent season last year and this season wasnt too bad for them australia bet england by more but they conceded tries, all blacks should win it but south africa i think are still up ther and the aussies have a habit for fucking things up for the all blacks but if i were (which i am) a betting man id back new zealand. I cant see pumas joining the tri nations as it is now

Then it wouldn't be Tri-Nations! Maybe a South Hemisphere tournament once in a while would be good to see. I'd like to see a complete North Hemisphere and South Hemisphere match. That would be exicting to see. Not just the Lions, but include France and other nations in the Northern Hemisphere against a South Africa-New Zealand-Australia-Argentina side would be one for the record books!
