    Well, just around the corner......can't wait for it. This tournament is the reason I got into Rugby, at all. So who is the favorite? Does South Africa have any chance of repeating as champs?

    In terms of preparation, New Zealand while playing against the Lions will be more intense than Australia or South Africa. How did Australia do after hosting the Lions a couple of years ago?

    Alright, so this gets started this coming weekend. I'm getting stoked already with the DVR schedule setup and everything.

    After having watched the Lions tests, and the 2 Nelson Mandela tests, I think the onus is on Australia and South Africa to prevent All Blacks from winning Tri Nations.

    The AB's are looking way too strong, but the wannabes seem to get up against them (on the odd occasion).

    The All Blacks do look poised to win this year's TriNations, let's hope the Boks and Wallabees give 'em a run for their money. I am going to have to get up and watch it live, as they seem to not replaying it the next day like they did the last few seasons.

    Who is everyone pulling for? I have a very good friend in South Africa (who is an American expat, and could care less about Egg tossin), my wife's company is Austrialian, and I enjoy NZ passion for Rugby. Let's just pray that we see some damn good rugby.
