New Zealand continue good form

New Zealand won a tight game with South Africa to continue their good form and extend their lead at the top of the Tri-Nations table.

Although the game finished 19-0 in the All Blacks’ favour, it was only 5-0 heading into the final quarter.

Conrad Smith got the first try early on but it was much later when Dan Carter finally sealed the win, before Keven Mealamu added a third late on.

Carter completed two conversions after missing a host of kicking chances in the first half.

New Zealand storm back to beat Aussies

The All Blacks recovered from two straight defeats to crush Australia 39-10 and secure a bonus point in the process.

Tony Woodcock and Ma’a Nonu scored the all important tries to relieve the pressure on New Zealand coach Graham Henry.

The All Blacks made a number of tactical changes to their side and Henry was delighted to see them pay off. He commented, “We changed the game plan around and the guys executed that exceptionally well.”

All Blacks turn to Kahui

New Zealand have drafted Richard Kahui into their side for the upcoming match against Australia as they attempt to take back the balance of power in the Tri-Nations.

Kahui will be asked to play out of position on the wing but coach Graham Henry says whoever he picks will have to be up for the job at hand.

He commented, “We’ve made some tactical changes in our selections, but we also need to change how we play.”

MacDonald out for New Zealand

Leon MacDonald has been ruled out of the third Tri-Nations test against Australia, a match the All Blacks must win to avoid defeat in the tournament.

The 30-year-old full back is still suffering from the effects of a concussion and the All Blacks don’t want to take any risks ahead of their crunch game with the Aussies.

Mils Muliaina is expected to come into the side to replace MacDonald.

New Zealand change things around

Scrum-half Piri Weepu and hooker Hikawera Elliot have been called up to the New Zealand squad for the third match with Australia, but insist their arrival is only as cover.

The All Blacks are staring down the barrel of a third straight Tri-Nations defeat to Australia and aren’t taking any chances with their squad.

However, history is with the All Blacks as Australia haven’t won in New Zealand since 2001.
