With the Tri nations now decided the final game takes place this weekend.

Match Nine - New Zealand 33- 6 Australia
New Zealand totally over powered the Wallabies in this final match of the 2009 Tri Nations Series. Australia failed to continue with their excellent form shown against Tri Nations champions South Africa in their last match instead they wilted under the intense pressure heaped upon them by a dominant All Black team.
New Zealand scored three tries, two in the last 7 or 8 minutes, but by that time they had already won the match and were never in any real danger. The result means that its Australia who will get the wooden spoon and for New Zealand confidence should return after losing three times to South Africa in the Series.
New Zealand Scorers: Tries: Jane, Nonu, Rokococo. Cons: Carter (3) Pens: Carter (4).
Australia Scorers Pens: Giteau. DG: Barnes
Match Eight - New Zealand 29 - 32 South Africa - Springboks win Tri Nations

New Zealand must now prepare for the final match of the Tri nations when they take on Australia in a Bledisloe Cup match next week in Tri nations match nine which will decide who comes runners up to the Springboks.
