The usual hype is building up over this Saturday's Bledisloe Cup game in Sydney. The build up to the game is half the fun really - there's a swag of Kiwis living here on the Gold Coast and don't they ALL like to let you know that they're Enzeders. I wonder how many realise that their bad accents gave them away right off the bat :) Anyway, the All Blacks have a couple of injury woes. Byron Kelleher is out after South African lock Victor Matfield smashed him in a tackle last weekend, and Tana Umaga is in doubt.

The Wallabies of course have suffered a huge loss with Stephen Larkham out due to needing a shoulder reconstruction, but hopefully Matt Giteau will get the nod for the Aussies at five eighth - not a bad replacement huh? That young man just keeps getting better and better as a player - what a talent. Chris Latham is also in doubt after suffering a hamstring injury.

Bring on Saturday :)
