clash of the titans



today, the sporting world's biggest match up isn't in baseball, or even tennis at wimbledon.

no, it's tri-nations rugby and australia vs. new zealand.

given new zealand's form, i'm giving this one to the all-conquering all blacks.

update: australia 20- new zealand 15

Australia 20-15 New Zealand! - there is hope for the rugby world cup after all.

Australia replacement Scott Staniforth crossed with just eight minutes left to give the Wallabies their first win over the All Blacks since 2004.
