Bledisloe Cup match with Tri Nations implications
Tri Nations Trophy match with Bledisloe implications
Equal importance
I'm a hairy back (or other) so I don't care about Bluduslow crap
One for the traditionalists versus the modernists!
How do you view the fixture at Christchurch this weekend?
Is it foremost a Bledisloe Cup match which happens to be part of the Tri Nations Series OR is it definately a Tri Nations Trophy match first, which also goes towards the Bledisloe Cup?
"Bloody oath we did!"

It is probably even more important than "Billy" most world cup years, we can live without Billy and the Tri Nations in the cupboard, but The Bledisloe is a must![]()
The Bledisloe is the second most important Trophy available to Australia (or any other country for the matter.)...
and the most important is.......The Chris Whitaker CupOriginally Posted by Sagerian
Sorry Sage that was Moses that made that I think![]()
The most important is the Rotomahana Challenge which is contested between the tahs and the crusaders.
So I was real close then. But not as close as The FORCE came to beating them in their very first clash (1st V Last), now how did the Tahs fair against them this year??Originally Posted by Sagerian
Definately the Bledisloe for me, and since they've got two games in choice bro this year that makes this first match must win...
A couple of points;1 Bledisloe for sure, 2 Tahs lost i believe(no Rogers),3 what or who is Rotomanana and the connection between Sydney And Christchurch?Originally Posted by Sagerian

In the Rotomahana? 32-30 to the 'saders, regular season was close too but we lost again. ahhh well... We're still waiting for a game where the Tahs put it all together for 80 minutes.Originally Posted by The InnFORCEr
But getting back to it, I was obviously referring to the World cup. The Bledisloe is second ONLY to the world cup and no other rugby contest compares to either.
