Question

WIll New Zealand "clean sweep" the Tri-Nations?

Answer 1

hopefully not. But they are favourites each year as they are the top side in  the world. Bo ks have found form but just hope we dont get big headed. whoever wins the tri nation will win the world cup.Its going south. go boks. The Irish will be the surprise package

Answer 2

NO BLOODY WAY. The aussies have a good and stable team, and the Bokke seem to have found some of their lost form. GO BOKKE!!!!!

Answer 3

To be honest it probably is New Zealands Tri Nations to lose this year, along with the world cup. However to suggest that they will get a clean sweep is a bit tougher to imagine.

That said, however, the All Blacks have many excellent players at their disposal where as with other nations, when you get past the 22 main players you find players who wouldnt 'walk' into any team, whereas the ABs do have many such players.

I certainly dont see them being beaten at home....

Answer 4

I think that New Zealand may lose a match in this years Tri-Nations, most likely against South Africa. I doubt that New Zealand will be fielding a full strength side in each of the matches (although if they do, there is no doubt that they will clean sweep the competition).

I think that New Zealand will rest some of their star players for some matches for fear of injury and considering the rich vein of form that the springboks have had over the last month, they could quite likely pull one over a weakened All Blacks team. With this said, the All Blacks would probably have to have an awful match and the boks would have to play a blinder.

I hope you found this helpful, enjoy the Tri-Nations.

Answer 5

Not if they play Ma'a Nonu, the man couldn't catch a cold let alone the bloody ball. Useless.

Answer 6

I think that this years Tri Nations is not an accurate indicator of the form of teams this year.  New Zealand rested all the all Blacks for the first 7 rounds of the competition.  For the Crusaders that is two thirds of the run on squad.  I don't think they will clean sweep the competition.  The Springboks are too hard to beat at home.  But I think they will win the competition.

Answer 7

No not clean

Answer 8

yep i fink dey will win it by miles but i want south africa 2 win it coz ma m8 is frm der

Answer 9

on because they are not thay good

Answer 10

NEVER PERIOD!

did you watch the super 14.

who caned the crusaders the last champions. the bulls from SA

who caned the blues. the sharks also from SA

which country had two home semi finals and now has the cup. SA again. and the bulls also won the tightest match ever.

this means we have two even excellent teams. plenty of great material to pick from.

who has been caning the Brits. yup us as well.

so we have great players and they are really gelling and playing well. we have some of the greatest players ever like Brian. so i believe it wont be like the cricket. SA will win and no landslide win by the all blacks.

go ama bokke bokke.)

Answer 11

Dont be ridiculous

Answer 12

Inasmuch as I would luv to say ~ yes! I don't think the All Blacks will win every match!

I really think the Boks are going to give the All Blacks a good run for their money!  The Boks have just come out of a superb Super 14 Season and will make the All Blacks work extremely hard for a win ~ especially when they play away in SA.  

The Aussies may fluke a win but the real battle is going to be between New Zealand & South Africa for sure!  Both teams will be looking to dominate in this competition putting them in good stead for the RWC!!

Answer 13

you may as well as is the pope catholic !!!!! same answer - N Zealand Rugby ( much as i am English and want the Home Nations win .......) its New Zealands Year but Tri Nations andWorld Cup too - Probably unbeaten, unless S africa pull of a shock

Answer 14

to cut a long answer short they will win

Answer 15

They shouldn't have any trouble winning all their home games. Australia aren't anything special at the moment so you would put the All Blacks as favourites for their game in Australia. South Africa away is a different matter. Not many teams can cope with the conditions in South Africa and the Boks always play better at home. If the All Blacks are going to lose a game, it will be the one in South Africa.

Answer 16

No definitely not, they have the best chance of winning it, but they will not upset SA on their home soil

Answer 17

No, I think that yet again SA will beat then up on the high ground, and SA are a good outside chance for the World Cup and Tri nations, NZ are very, very ,very good, but fragile in the Locks and front row, if they are hit hard enough up front then they struggle to score, nullify McCaw and things are harder again, look at what happened when they played in 2005, Wales lost by 1 point because Chrvis beasted McCaW at every given opportunity.

As sais they are very good but beatable, as SA have shown, maybe the question should have been is every side going to thrash the Aussie, that is a lot more likely

Answer 18

Yes, Yes,Yes --- they will win the Tri-Nations

But  No  --- Not by a clean sweep

Answer 19

I think that they will win the Tri Nations but I dont think that they will take the clean sweep.

Answer 20

I don't think so, although they are the strongest squad on paper! South Africa are going to be major contenders for both the Tri-Nations and the World Cup, whilst New Zealand could choke again.

Personally I hope the Springboks reign supreme this year, as they did on a Province level during the Super 14s!

Answer 21

last week I would have said yes, but ABs have a few injuries now.
