4/1 South Africa to win the Tri Nations looks a decent bet!!!

I fancy NZ will be to strong....
Expect weakened sides and experimental combinations.
Could the the Northern Hemisphere (But which one??) triumph in the WC this year??
NZ/Aus and SA will surely be battered and bruised after a long S15 and Tri nations, and just like the proteas in world cups, NZ will choke once again......and in their own back yard - will be brilliant!
On the other hand, would be nice for fans of NZ to win the tri nations and the WC considering all the earthquakes etc that have plagued them over the last few months! (But i still hope they choke

Betting in the Tri-Nations usually calls for the application of a bit of 'technique'.
If you happen to fancy SA then keep your powder dry because, if they lose the away legs, they will be 'any price' upon their return home. If they fluke one or both away legs then you better turn it up until next year!
If you fancy Australia you may want to go in now as they could well beat SA in the opening fixture and shorten accordingly.
If you fancy NZ it might pay to wait until after the first leg as it is unlikely that they will shorten much ( if at all ) if Australia have beaten SA in the first leg.

Agree with Wonbyamile NZ should be hard to beat in both competitions. The depth in NZ rugby is imense. If players are rested they could field a second or thief team and still be competitive.

With a Bok B team lead by Fatso Smit and half a team that should not be there at all I will not waste my hard earned cash. Add a clueless coach and you have a travelling circus. We have NO chance!
