Ah it should be a great tournament this year! I�m picking the Springboks to take it out, with the All Blacks a close second.
How will you be watching it? I.e. what are some of the best streams? Been watching the internationals through Sopcast streams but I�m thinking there�s gotta be something better.. |

Its because Korea has become infused with North Americans over the past year who don't follow rugby (or soccer for that matter). Fair enough but threads like this would've had loads of Aussies, kiwis and Brits contributing in years past.
I love the rugby and am a springboks fan...I just haven't being following it much lately... |

I think it's going to be between the Sprinkboks and the Wallabies. The All Blacks recent internationals were pretty lacklustre, the players don't have any originality or flair, and quite frankly I think Graham Henry is a fool. I mean, come on. . .the All Blacks replacement halfback can barely waddle from one end of the field to the other. I think Henry also tends to err on the side of caution, which means a lot of young players (Zac Guilford, for example) are being dropped for the big tests and not getting the experience they need.
I hope I'm wrong, but I think the Springboks are going to hammer the All Blacks tomorrow night. |

That first test against Wales was pretty outstanding...
Henry has a good squad this year, and a pretty solid reserve bench. Tonight will be an interesting test, I think he made the right choice to go with experience for the opener. Guilford will get a few games I'm sure, I hope he plays well. |

All Blacks to win the Tri-Nations closely followed by South Africa. The Wobblies to be a distant third. Australia is really going to struggle against the SA forwards - two penalty tries conceded against the Poms from scrums doesn't bode well for them.
It's going to be a ding-dong battle tonight. Go Blacks! |

I think the All Blacks have it this year. They were really impressive during today's game. South Africa is usually much more physical, but NZ seemed to be pushing them all over the field. They never gave them a chance for a big run and they made great tackles all game.
I watch it on the Australian network from our local cable company. |

Does anyone know of any good torrents or other ways to download the matches? I'm not home at the time to watch them streaming. Rickey Januarie, you are my hero now. Too bad Bakkies will be suspended, because there's always a chance its going to be 15 on 14 with him! The last two years the AB's had to get reloaded and now we've got a lot of depth in all postions.
Well, except #9. We'll be in deep kimchi if Cowan goes down.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually feel kind of bad for the Wobbalies. Barnes and their new fullback are really good, but they're going to be completely useless because their scrum is pretty amateur. Between Franks and Woodcock, it'll look like a training session on the pitch on the 31st. To be back in ChCh... |
