Wallabies v South Africa -Brisbane on july 24 :

The Tri-Nations Tournament took off on July 24 with South Africa Springboks facing off against the Australia , fighting it out for the IRB’s World Top Ranking. While any rugby game involves physical contact and excitement, this game made news for more than rugby.

The Aussies do not start their 2010 cup until the July 24 when they take on South Africa at home in Brisbane. They then make the move to Melbourne where they attempt to handle the All Blacks. The following week on August 7 they travel to Christchurch to again take on the All Blacks, and then motor over to South Africa for August 28 to play the Springboks in Pretoria.

The Wallabies off on the final day, September 11 at home in Sydney, against the All Blacks.

It is difficult to predict how the schedule will work for the Wallabies as they have not been able to stop New Zealand from beating them at home. If they plan on surprising at this year’s Tri-Nations they are going to have to beat the All Blacks on their own turf. The one thing they do have going for them is their ability to still control the Springboks at home. With that said, if they are able to get the first two games at home in Brisbane and Melbourne they could be in position to challenge for the cup with the final game in Sydney.

Throughout their June tests the Wallabies looked average, however, many believe there is a great deal of young talent on this year’s squad and if they are able to come together they could do some real damage. The difficultly still remains up front, they have sustained injuries and are just not strong enough in the scrum to compete with other top sides.

The one thing the Wallabies do have going for them is their backs. Dynamic backs such as Will Genia and Quade Cooper could put on a show and score a couple trys throughout the tournament. The trouble however will be gaining possession and holding off opponents up front. Without this the backs may not be able to gain the space needed to score points.
