Loading ...Tri Nations 2011
The most competitive Rugby tournament outside of the world cup gets under way soon. When it comes to picking a Tri Nations winner your best best is normally to start flipping coins! Made up of the southern hemispheres Rugby Union monsters (New Zealand, Australia and South Africa) the Tri Nations attracts Rugby fans from all over the world. The games never disapoint and always contain just about the right level of physicality. Unlike some Six Nations games as well it tends to be more about running rugby and less punt and chase. It’s always hard to pick a winner when these three play.
Just to add that little bit of extra spice 2011 is of course a World Cup year and this years Tri Nations will act as come nice final preperation from the 3 times, all of which will also be well backed to win the Rugby World Cup as well. I think it’s fair to say that most Nortehrn Hemisphere neutrals would like to see New Zealand lift the Tri Nations (The All Blacks have a certain allure to those supporters whose team don’t have to play them) but it really is going to be very close.
