I hate being pedantic, but the Tri Nations doesn't have a final.

We should win it this year, Boks have the best players by far this year. But the coaches could just make sure we don't win.

Pardon my ignorance, but when was the last time we won this?

I know last year was a disaster for us.

Do not be so sure, the all blacks are always strong as are the Aussies.

The all blacks suck in world cups but man are they strong in the tri-nations.

NZ is looking a touch on the weak side so far ..... let's hope they stay that way and we continue to improve ......... tbh, this year I think it's between SA and Aus.

I have to admit that after Saturday's k.a.k performance by the Boks against the Lions that I don't think they have an open and shut win of the Tri-Nations.

Why would they have an open and shut win of the tri nations though?

NZ are still the best team in the world in my opinion, if people think we are sure fire winnesr of the tri nations there is going to be a massive wake up call very soon.

Blix remember the team we sent out on sat against the lions was far from our strongest, i would not read anything into that other than the fringe players getting a run.

NZ vs Aus this weekend as Tri-Nations kicks off. Who should win? My vote to Aus. Think they're easier to beat.
