Out of curiosity what's the deal regarding gate money in the championship? Do they share it between each other or do the home side keep the money? Whats the biggest stadium capacity wise in NZ now? The others have 70K or 80K stadia? Anyhow looking forward to it from a rugby point of view.

SA late-show does it in Nelspruit, after trailing for most of the game they get home with a late try to avoid a repeat of last year's defeat at home. 30-23. Good game tho. Pumas again showing their worthiness.

Interestingly, prior to last year the Boks had never lost to any nation outside of the original foundations members of the IRB. & they only had a losing record against NZ. Aside from the other 6 foundation members, they had also lost recognized tests to the Lions, Jaguars and NZ Cavaliers. But Argentina finally beat them (like the Jaguars, in SA) last year, and Japan stunned them at the World Cup to join the All Blacks as the only team with a superior head-to-head record against SA (1-0, in their case).

Don't cry for me, Argentiiiiiiiiiiiina!

Toughed it out for 76 minutes, but just couldn't bring it home. But there's no doubt they're getting closer. I might have to revise my call from last night; maybe Oz won't beat them in Oz. I hope they take encouragement from this game and come back hard in their home game. SA are always beatable on the road, it's something in their heads. Argentina beating Sa and Oz in one comp would be a stunning result.
