Tri-Nations Recap: Australia v New Zealand

I have yet to see a better first half of rugby from the Aussies. It was one of the best games in a long time. The Wallabies destroyed the All Blacks in the first half and managed to hold off the World Cup favorites in the second. A great try by Radiki Samo and a faultless performance from Adam Ashley-Cooper helped the Australians to their first Tri-Nations victory in 10 years under debut skipper James Horwill.

The Hurricanes are missing Piri Weepu:

There is no doubting the fact that the Hurricanes are extremely poor this season. The more you think about why one name stand out, and thats Piri Awahou Tihou Weepu. The All Black has been missing since he broke his leg in the NPC last season.
Better known as a scrumhalf he has played the last few seasons at flyhalf. To add to his versatility he has been the Hurricanes' first choice kicker for a number of seasons. I do know that he played a club game in the last week or so, so lets hope he is back to full fitness and we can see him in SupeRugby soon.
