Australia v New Zealand - *** CONTAINS SPOILERS *** : Thu May 07, 2009 5:50 pm  

For anyone that's got Setanta and off work tomorrow, the game is on at half ten in the morning.

Should be a real grudge match, with the ockers after revenge following their World Cup humiliation. Despite the result there, I still think the 'Roos will be too strong for the Kiwis, and their backline must be one of the best ever seen.

Key matchups include Vatuvei v Folau, Marshall v Thurston and Asotasi v Civoniceva, making for a mouth watering clash.

Who do people on here reckon will win?

Australia

Their is nothing worse than a wounded animal especially when its the aussie pride thats been dented, i can`t see it being once bitten, twice shy as far as Australia goes in this game.

Australia. In fact I think the Kiwis could be getting their backsides handed back to them on a plate!

Aussies due to the fact thats its at home and they are smarting from the World Cup. The Kiwis only turn it on when it really counts.

Starts at 9.30am. Been off work all week so really looking forward to this game, and also to see how Silverwood goes on.

About time someone else was given a shot at these games rather than using Ganson or that English wannabe Klein (who, thank christ, is no longer in the equation now!!).
