Springbok coach Peter de Villiers was full of praise for his team, in particular the tight five, after they started their Tri-Nations campaign with an impressive 28-19 win over New Zealand in Bloemfontein on Saturday

The Springboks beat the All Blacks 28-19 in Bloemfontein but crucially also denied the All Blacks a losing bonus point as they did not finish within seven points of the Springboks.

If one was to believe the talk coming from sections of their local media and the former playing ranks of Australian test players, then we are witnessing the birth of a new golden age for the Wallabies.

2009 Investec Tri Nations - First Preview

The Investec Tri Nations will kick off at Eden Park on July 18th with the All Blacks hosting the Wallabies. It will be the fourteenth edition of the Southern Hemisphere's premier rugby tournament.

With the Springboks losing to the British and Irish Lions, the three SANZAR powers have completed their “home series” of test matches, and it is three vastly different beasts that enter the competition.
