KEY POINTS:
The TAB does not think the absence of New Zealand rugby teams from the Super 14 finals has hurt the All Blacks' chances in this season's Tri-Nations series. The TAB issued its Tri-Nations odds yesterday, installing the All Blacks as heavy favourites at $1.50.
The Springboks are paying $3.25, despite South Africa supplying both Super 14 finalists this weekend in the Sharks and Bulls, while Australia are quoted at $8.
