New Zealand to win.

I must admit i wasnt at all impressed with the way South Africa played against the Lions. It was 3 very close games and over the piece i would say the British side played better rugby and deserved to win. There was a problem with fitness late on for South Africa and they didnt enjoy playing against the pace the Lions had behind the rucks. We know the all Blacks have plenty of pace in the wide areas.

All Blacks also won the last time the 2 sides met around a year ago, 19-0. It is ofcourse a game which will still be fresh in the memory for SA and revenge will be in the air. But it also proves NZ have the quality to win over there and keeping them to a 0 score was remarkable.

NZ have the win already over the Aussies. Ok it wasnt a great performance and there were some problems with the set plays etc. But a win at this level of rugby is a win and it means they head to SA with confidence pretty high.

Im expecting a very low scoring game today, it wont be a flowing a game and should be stop and start with plenty of penalties. But i do believe NZ have that little bit extra class and i like the fact Rokocoko has been recalled on the right wing. If there is one area where South Africa look weak its on that side of the park and the big man has both the class and the experience to exploit.

NZ just to steal it and maybe with the only try of the game.

NZ to beat SA with sp at 2.80
