Freedom Cup
The Freedom Cup is a minor international rugby union trophy contested between South Africa and New Zealand, during the Tri-nations tournament. It was first contested in 2004 (the 10 year anniversary of South African democracy), in a one-off test. The game, played at Ellis Park, Johannesburg was won 40-26 by South Africa. However, in the 2006 Tri Nations Series, it was contested in all three New Zealand - South Africa matches.
New Zealand won 2 of the matches (one home and one away) giving them the Freedom Cup for the first time, but during the post match presentation after the third game, won by South Africa, Supersport presenter Joost van der Westhuizen incorrectly presented the trophy to Springbok captain John Smit who accepted it in front of millions of television viewers. The mistake was later corrected, off-air.
Tri Nations (rugby union)
The Tri-Nations (rugby union) is an annual rugby competition between New Zealand, Australia and South Africa. The prize for the winning team is the Tri Nations Trophy. The team that wins the tri-nations competition is usually considered to be the best rugby union team in the Southern Hemisphere for that year.
The tri-nations contest begins in July, which is winter in the Southern Hemisphere. Each team plays the two other teams three times. Nine games are played in total. Teams are awarded competition points for a win, but can also earn 'bonus' points. At the end of the series, the team with the most competition points wins the trophy.
Match Preview
Tri-Nations 2011 Preview: New Zealand v South Africa
Date: 30th July 2011
Kick-off: 08:35 (BST)
Venue: Westpac Stadium
World Cup favourites New Zealand begin their Tri Nations campaign this weekend, hosting a South African side coming off the back of an awful start against Australia last weekend. The Springboks, without many of their starting players, went down timidly to the Wallabies 39-20 last weekend and despite the fact that they are again without a number of their stars, the 2007 World Cup winners will be more than eager to make amends for that opening loss. New Zealand, meanwhile, will be itching to hit the ground running as they continue their preparations for a home Rugby World Cup which is arguably theirs to lose, and will go into this test much fresher than their southern hemisphere rivals.
What to expect
The weather two days before the game looks to be dry, so this is likely to be a fast-paced game. Dan Carter has been a little quieter in attack than his usual self during this year’s Super Rugby, but many expect him to have more of a run this weekend. As mentioned earlier, New Zealand’s execution against Fiji was lacking so nothing less than a marked improvement will do on that front.
South Africa will be looking for a marked improvement everywhere. The inclusion of Lambie at fly-half offers him the chance to lead the backline in attack, which could throw up some surprises.
Prediction
I imagine Graham Henry and co will be telling their squad that anything less than the scoreline Australia beat South Africa by last week will be a failure. The Kiwis will want to make a statement and although a record win is probably not on the cards, I expect New Zealand to run in four tries or more. If it was a rainy day in Wellington the scales may have tipped closer to South Africa, but I expect that once the All Blacks break through for their first try, the gates will continue to open. New Zealand by 15 points.
