I am gutted to be missing this match as since I am in the US would start to early even if I could find a channel to watch it. I can see new zealand australia one going each way and then nz winning the home game. I think SA will win all their home games as they will have had time to rest and they should be too strong. I'm surprised smith isn't starting, he has looked the best outside back so far bar de villiers.

Im going to the game.
Gonna be great, Sydney really turns it on for the Bledisloe (they have the record for spectators at a rugby test match)
Oz did us a huge favour for this tri nations, just hope they can do us another and not spoil the partae with their typical never say never attitude.

Am hoping for a great game, they tend to be and the ABs have a pretty good record in Sydney, considering its an away ground.

Incidentally, doesnt Melbourne have the biggest crowd record at the G?
Or did the Olympic stadium in Sydney host a game before they took the temporary stands down?

the All Blacks bring a superb physicality to the game these days and it really is up to everyone else to step up to that mark. The skills levels are also a joy to watch. what a pity the game will be ruined by the ELVs which give a license to cheat

Blue - The Olympic Stadium held a record of 109,800 people in 2000 which they had the extra stands for the Olympics. I was at the game it was a great atmosphere with that many people. The only thing was that you cheeky Kiwis won the game in the last minute with Lomu's try. That was the game that you were ahead 24-0 after 8 minutes, then it was 24 all at halftime, 34-30 (to you guys) with 10 mins to go, then 35-34 to us with 3 mins to go and then Lomu's try.

Both sets of supporters stood and clapped what was a great game of rugby after the fulltime siren.

Goshin, that was a game I'll never forget. My old man checked himself out of hospital on the morning of the game, flew over and meet us at sydney airport, was throwing his guts up and a train station, and we got there just in time for kick off. we were at the front of the top teir in those end stands, with lomu running straight at us to win the game... Jumping up and down there were kiwis all over the place, standing out like saw thumbs as the aussies were hands in head... well, for a while at least. It didnt take too long for them to applaud what has to be one of, if not the greatest games of rugby in all time...

Why do I get the feeling where heading for another one of those this weekend?

A lot has been made of SAs 2point win over ABs,[much reduced].To put it in perspective if Boks[world champs].Had SA started with Burger injured[not playing]Matfield unavailble suspended] and to lose Bakkus Botha after 10 minutes and lost by 2 points.Would the world be talking about the demise of bok rugby and there new coa ch ,i think not.

I thought i read some where that Mccaw might be fit enough for the next match, I belive the story go's Mccaw will decide if he is fitenough to play.......Come on with Mccaw watching from the side line's and watching NZ loose to SA you bet he will make him self fit for thr game.

But because of Mccaws wanting to get back on the field and take revenge for NZ loosing, the question is will he be truly fit enough for the game???

www.justin.tv and you will find it in the live streaming under sport channels. And if not it is quite a good site to see any sports etc that you can't get on tv anyway
