[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 680371, member: 20605"] Disagree with this completely. A two match series is weighted too heavily in favour of the holder. If the holder wins the first one, they win the Bledisloe Cup and the second one becomes a dead rubber; if they lose it they get a second chance Conversely, the non-holder has to win both, and at least one will be away. Lose the first one and they are goneburger for another year. At least with a three match series, one of the teams has the advantage of two home matches every second year. [/QUOTE]
