TRI NATIONS
Australia took on trans-Tasman rivals New Zealand on Saturday in the final match of this year's Tri Nations. With South Africa already crowned champions, both sides were anxious to avoid the wooden spoon. We have highlights and reaction from Richie McCaw.

WALLABIES' MOST WANTED: STIRLING MORTLOCK

PAKISTAN V INDIA
Cricket matches between the two produce television audiences in the billions and, while rugby doesn't yet command anything like the same following, the national teams of India and Pakistan still hold the fixture up above all others. We were at their most recent match.
