[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 769103, member: 12207"] This is a bit of a tough one... the relationship with New Zealand has become pretty asymmetrical to the point that it's hard to justifiably claim we're (or anyone else for that matter) are genuine rivals to the ABs anymore. They've become like the Aussie Cricket team from the 90s to the mid 00s - just a cut above and not really having their mantle threatened. From an Australian perspective I'd therefore say it's England v Australia, followed closely by South Africa v Aus - both teams we seem to lose and win a similar amount of games and both have long standing rivalries in other sports.
