All-Blacks back in the Tri-Nations betting mix after brief status as [4.8] outsiders
New Zealand breathed fresh life into their Tri-Nations campaign with a comprehensive victory over Australia.
The pressure was intense on the All-Blacks going into the game following defeats in their previous two games but they dismissed that with a 39-10 whalloping of the old enemy.
After two wins in their previous games, the defeat knocks Australia off the top of the table and leaves the competition wide open.
South Africa, bottom of the table with one win from three games, head the betting at [2.44] with New Zealand, who have played one more game than their rivals, on [3.15]. Australia are a notch back at [3.2].
The next fixture sees New Zealand travel to South Africa on August 16.
