Referees to 20 August
New Zealand to clinch victory?
New Zealand play Australia in Auckland. They could well decide the fate of the Tri-Nations by winning the match, even though there are three matches still to be played.
There will be an interesting day's rugby at Carisbrook when Otago celebrate their 15th birthday. Part of the celebrations will be a celebrity match of "retired" players with Colin Hawke as their referee.
