3N: All Blacks vs. Wallabies

July 7, 2006

As John Drake says, "Time for the real deal."

The Tri-Nations kicks off Saturday morning 3:35 am ET with the Wallabies travelling to Christchurch to take on the defending champion All Blacks.

Pedigree, recent form and some minor experimentation (a.k.a. Mils Muliaina's move to center) means this one is too close to call.

Rugby Planet has their match preview. The aforementioned John Drake provides his fingernail-biting front-row-centric preview here.
