All Blacks vs. South Africa

Carisbrook, Dunedin

Saturday July 12 2008, 7.35pm

Celebrating 100 years of test rugby in Dunedin since the first Rugby test at Carisbrook in 1908, the 2nd game of the Tri-Nations will be the biggest rugby weekend of the year.

Carisbrook has a wonderful history and tradition of exciting test matches. This could be your last chance to experience the "House of Pain"

The Springboks are the only team to consistently challenge the All Blacks in recent years and as World Champions we can look forward to more tension and excitement in these crucial Tri Nations encounters.

Otago has a long and proud history (126 years as a union) of fostering rugby within its borders and of being a major contributor at national level through players, coaches and administrators. It could be argued that Otago’s contribution belies its population and commercial size.

Some of the great innovators of New Zealand rugby have been Otago men, including the originator of the All Black jersey and the first New Zealand captain under the aegis of the New Zealand Rugby Union, Tom Ellison, and the first All Black coach, Jimmy Duncan. Such influence more than a century ago has continued unbroken.
