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..

No rugby fans on this board? wow...ok then.

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.

All Blacks all the way.

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.

Mate, allblacks destroyed ya. Better luck in 2015 yaapies, this one's between us and Deans.

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...

The name Woodcock must rank as one of the worst surnames to be blessed with.

Yet I suppose not many folks have the gumption to tease an All Black to his face, so maybe it doesn't bother him much.

The Bokke don't travel well and I think there's something about the New Zealand air that gives them the creeps, along with the no-nonsense, spartan facilities.

Yet I think they'll be more of a match next time.

The test match on Saturday was the most I've enjoyed a rugby game in a long time.. So it goes without saying that I'm an AB fan.

It was unbelievable that a springbok team could be made to look that ordinary. All they had on offense was the kick, usually the up and under.

This All Black team is trully that, there are not that many individual greats in the team. But they play a team plan superbly. Bring on next Saturday night.

After all the theatrics of the soccer world cup it was underlined one of the better things that I like about rugby.

Jimmy Cowan held back Bakkies Botha, Botha being the consumate meathead, headbutted Cowan while Cowan was on the ground. The sight of Cowan just smiling afterwards made me proud to be a southernman

Yeah, I couldn't have been more wrong. After seeing the performance of the Safa teams in the Super 14, I thought the All Blacks were goners for sure. But Southernman is 100% right about the All Blacks coming together as a team; I think Saturday's match was one of the better games of rugby I've seen, and I couldn't believe the way the South Afrikans were completely dominated. They seemed to be playing like their hearts weren't in it. And what was with Steyn's drop-kicks?

The All Blacks were sensational, and Ma'a Nonu even ran in a straight line in the right direction - that doesn't happen every day.

It will be interesting to see what happens next week. My money's still on South Africa to take out the series, unless they play the same way next week.
