South Africa 21, New Zealand 20 in Rustenberg (Tri Nations)
South Africa won by 1 point. I predicted New Zealand by 20.
A close fought match won by
South Africa with a last minute penalty. New Zealand suffered again in the
lineouts and came off second best in the scrums. It was in these two areas that
New Zealand came unstuck at the 2003 Rugby World Cup. Can they fix it before
2007?

do not go to 1st place as New Zealand has won the Tri Nations and
has been clearly superior in the competition.
