The All Blacks, at home convincingly beat the Wallabies in the last Tri-Nations Game of 2009. All Blacks won 33 / 6 and the Wallabies won the WOODEN SPOON in the Tournament for 2009.
The All Blacks started strong, with clear intention to be on the come-back trail, dominating the first 6 minutes… also clearly intent on not kicking too much but rather running everything at the Wallabies.
The Wallabies fought back and took an early penalty lead but the All Blacks levelled the scores soon thereafter.
It was an exchange of penalties till the Cory Jane try, from an up-and-under kick.
The All Blacks went into Half Time 16 / 6 up.
The All Blacks intensified pressure and played the smarter game in the Second Half, denying ANY SCORE from the Wallabies. The All Blacks racked up 2 more tries, one from Ma’a Nonu and a last try from a swan-diving Joe Rokococo right at the death.
The All Blacks stood up well in all tight phases, Richie McCaw led from the front and for once, nothing worked in the Wallabie game plan.
The All Blacks showed determined and dogged defence and it is still clear that the All Blacks puts a great Premium on being among the best in World Rugby.
The New Zealand commentators expressed the fact that the Springboks deserved their Tri-Nations win.
Is it any coincidence that the IRB No 1 ranked Team won the Tri-Nations, the No 2 ranked Team came second and the No 3 Team came third ? I don’t think so !
Well done All Blacks, on this win.
Well done to another successfully completed Tri-Nations, the Premier International Competition, after the World Cup !

61@Loosehead – Fanks… nou so gesien toe hy terugkom
Boring!
Hierdie AB’s en Aussies is darem tweegesigte: as Bokke goed skop dan kerm hulle dit is ‘boring’ rugby. Skop Dannie of Barnes goed, dan is dit natuurlik slim goeie rugby. Eish
Lemoenetyd !
Ek drink nou ‘n wonderlike tuisgemaakte Gemmerbier !
53@vanStraaten – hoop net nie Francis drop vandag nie ! 😉
@grootblousmile – Is die CC log al ge update?
67@SA Barbarians – Noggie, sal dit NOU doen
@grootblousmile – Good morning, I see it is ‘orange time’ again. The Aussies aare supposed to be winning this!!
@bdb –
Ek hoop hy drop onder baie druk en hy sit hom oor om jou te bewys hy kan ;).
Ek wil sien wat Gerber se seun vandag doen, hy het my rerig beindruk laasweek. 3 keer met die bal gehardloop en 2 line-breaks gemaak, en die res van sy spel lyk goed. Die week is hy in die nr. 13 trui.
67@SA Barbarians – Log Updated
@SA Barbarians –
Ja hello … I know it did not make any sense (I really was cleaning the keyboard) … it made about as much sense as that yellow card 🙄
Ola GBS 🙂
@grootblousmile – 68
Dankie man! Ek het darem nie bedoel jy moet dit NOU doen nie hehehehe
69@carol – Hello, All Blacks will win, told you last night already… hehehe
72@Rugby_Princess – Hello Miss Hong Kong
70 @vanStraaten – Nog nie vir Dandre sien speel nie, sal hom bietjie dophou vandag. Hy moet nou nie gaan staan en ‘n Danie Gerber op die BB trek vandag nie !
@Rugby_Princess – 72
Morning RP
What colour card would you heve preferred? 🙂
@SA Barbarians – Eish heve = have
The AB’s WON a lineout.
Dink die telling lyk goed vir die aussies. Vorige toetse was hul voor halftyd, en toe albei verloor. Nou is hul agter, dalk werk dit en kom hul sterk terug die 2de helfte. Moet sê hul is vandag nie skaduwee van die span wat teen ons gewen het nie.
I think I must open my tin of caramel now…. feel a bit peckish…
@grootblousmile – 🙁 You did tell me exactly that…..!! I am too stubborn to listen to advice!
How are you today?
@grootblousmile – 81 Nooooo, put it DOWN and walk away from it………
You will get diabetes……(however you spell it) Have an apple !
@SA Barbarians – I see a wry smile on your face this morning S.A!! All OK?
I can’t believe that the Boks lost to this rubbish Aussie side.
@Rugby_Princess – Hi Princess, I think your boys may just enjoy a win today!! How are you doing?
All Blacks 19 / 6
@Loosehead – 79 Only won a line out because Bakkies and Victor were not there!!
where is Matt Gittau?
88@carol – True.
