New Zealand obviously favourites, but I wouldnt put South Africa and Australia that far behind them.
Results from 2007 tri nations:
SA 22 - 19 Aus
SA 21 - 26 NZ
Aus 20 - 15 NZ
Aus 25 - 17 SA
NZ 33 - 6 SA
NZ 26 - 12 Aus
Also bear in mind that SA sent their B team for the away games.
Watch out for Schalk Berger on the flank, and
Brian Habana on the
wing.
Francois Steyn is a good young player who has played at centre, wing and fullback before.
Ruan Pienaar is another good young player, but he probably wont make 1st choice scrumhalf. Hes played at wing before so I hope they find a place for him there.
And like all saffa teams there are some
dirty [censored] forwards.
