The Kangaroos have never looked in a better position to re-assert their dominance on world rugby league than in this weekend’s Four Nations final at Anfield. Having progressed through the group stage of the tournament without incident, with big wins over Scotland and England split by a 14-8 success over New Zealand, Australia go into the final as raging $1.25 favorites, according to website AustralianGambling. While this is not yet a vintage Australian side, the quality of their opposition in the tournament has been questionable. The Kiwis’ best performance of the tournament came against...

New Zealand will be looking to extend their 17-match winning streak to break their own record this weekend against Australia. That 18th win has eluded the All Blacks before, but it almost seems set in stone that they can complete a Bledisloe Cup whitewash over the Wallabies this year. Eden Park, the venue for his weekend’s Test, is a black-clad fortress. The Wallabies have not won there since 1986. Thirty years later and the odds are not in their favor. According to website AustralianGambling, Australia is priced at $9.00 to claim what would be a monumental victory. The one thing Australia...

Both sides head into this fixture on the back of a loss, as the Pumas were defeated by New Zealand in Argentina, while the Wallabies were unable to beat the Springboks in South Africa. With the travel miles clocking up at a steady rate for both teams, this game could come down to who has the best conditioning program.

Australia’s set pieces will be put under pressure as the Wallabies look to avoid a seventh straight Test loss when they take on South Africa in Brisbane, Australia, in the Rugby Championship on Saturday. New Zealand exposed severe deficiencies in the Wallabies in its two Bledisloe Cup wins last month as the All Blacks consistently stole the ball from the throw in. Australia has now won just 69 percent of the ball from their own throws after two rounds of the Rugby Championship, compared with Argentina (91.67 percent), South Africa (91.3 percent) and the All Blacks, who haven’t lost...

New Zealand’s All Blacks were crowned Bledisloe Cup champions for the 14th consecutive year, as they took an unassailable 2-0 series lead over Australia thanks to a 29-9 victory in Wellington, New Zealand, on Saturday. The Wallabies came into the match off the back of a humiliating 42-8 defeat in Game 1 on August 20, and although they made a much better account of themselves this time around, they were simply outclassed by the lethal All Blacks. Australia were looking to start the game on the front foot and silence the Westpac Stadium, yet they couldn’t find a way through the New Zealand...
