[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 336185, member: 20605"] Well I won't hold the "Y" instead of "Why" against you.. BUT DON"T DO IT AGAIN!! Its simple math. The All Blacks have not yet won the Tri Nations for the simple reason that Australia can still win it. The current table is; NZL 19 AUS 4 SAF 0 If Australia can win their three remaining matches with a 4 try bonus point, and New Zealand lose all their remaining match without getting a losing bonus point, the table would be; NZL 19 AUS 19 SAF 4 to 9 points depending on 4 try and losing bonus points in their remaining matches Then it would come down to points difference. The current difference is NZL +65 AUS -14 That is a total difference of 79 points, so the Aussies would have overcome this massive points difference to win. NZ win, draw or lose by 7 points or less against South Africa, or score a 4 try bonus point regardless of the score, they win the 3N. Frankly, I cannot see Australia beating South Africa twice in consecutive weekends at first Loftus Versfeld then Free State Stadium (both at high altitude). [/QUOTE]
