ruggachick.com RUGBY TRI-NATIONS 2010 FNB STADIUM twitter.com The Tri-nations continues in SA as the All Blacks made their way to Soweto. A lot was riding on this special clash: The famous FNB stadium hosted it's 1st ever rugby match and made history with a sold out crowd of nearly 90 000 supporters. It was also a very special day for the South African fans as their captain played his 100th cap. With all this in mind the All Blacks stepped up to the challenge and threw quite a scene with the Haka., here in the South African territory. The game got off to a smashing start, giving each other a go. It was neck on neck, but the Springboks had the lead going into halftime. Fitness levels seemed to have let the Boks down, missing some curtail tackles during the 2nd half. The All Blacks had a bit more gass in the tank, squeezing in two tries just before full time snatching the victory.

ruggachick.com TRI-NATIONS RUGBY Week 5 twitter.com The Wallabies traveled to Christchurch in the 5th round of the 2010 Tri-Nations. The game started off on a high note, with loads of smashing action as the only 3 tries in the game were scored in the opening 15 minutes of the game. "At halftime the All Blacks lead but the Wallabies are stepping up the pace, as they will be looking to convert territory into points going into the 2nd half." Although the Wallabies were on attack pushing the All Blacks back they still failed to break a solid All Black defensive line. The men in black are wasting now time to collect more and more silverware, clinching their 10th Tri-nations title and the Beddisloe Cup remains in New Zealand. The Tri-Nations now heads to South Africa with history in the making when the All Blacks take on the Springboks at the National Stadium.

RUGBY TRI-NATIONS 2010 Wk 4

03 Aug 2010
ruggachick.com TRI-NATIONS RUGBY Week 4 twitter.com It was the first match for the Bledisloe Cup between two of the most dominating rugby countries in the world. I was excited to see the famous Haka again... Interesting to see the reaction on the faces of the Wallabies, as the challenge is laid down... The Wallabies got off to a good start picking up the 1st try. All though Owen Franks picked up a yellow for a shoulder charge it still didn't stop the All Blacks from crossing the try line. The All Blacks have picked up the four tries already, securing yet another bonus point! The Wallabies are in trouble, they really need to dig deep to make a comeback. The Wallabies struggled to keep up with the pace, they missed some curtail tackles and Drew Mitchell received a Red Card for ill discipline. This allowed the All Blacks to do what they do best, dominate and attack. All in all the All Blacks are in a class of their own, simply ruling the rugby world as they secure the Tri-Nations Cup.

RUGBY TRI-NATIONS 2010 Wk 3

26 Jul 2010
ruggachick.com TRI-NATIONS RUGBY 2010 Week 3 twitter.com Good day fans. The Springboks headed to Brisbane for their 3rd game in the Tri-Nations, whilst the Aussies where more than ready for their 1st match. During the week the Aussies claimed that the Springboks are their biggest challenge in this competition despite the All Blacks dominating. Although the Aussies have a young inexperienced team they still have a huge home advantage with a massive crowd behind them, the pressure is definitely on the Springboks. A tip tackle from Jaque Fourie left him in the Sin Bin 4 minutes into the game, this pattern has seemed to repeat it self for the green and gold. The Wallabies stepped up the pace and took advantage of scoring opportunities. At halftime both sides have given away quite a few penalties and the kickers have gladly taken the points. The Springboks are struggling to cross the try line and the Aussies are making sure they stay in Bok territory. Drew Mitchell scored the 1st try of the game giving the Aussies a comfortable lead going into the 2nd half. Defense and the Breakdown area seems to be the biggest problem for the Springboks, although at some stages it looked good from the green and gold they still lacked pace. The Aussies were awake and noticed the weaknesses, they simply outplayed and outscored a struggling Springbok side. The Springboks head back home for a much needed break, whilst the All Blacks make their way to Melbourne for their 1st clash against the Aussies.
