Australia-New Zealand sports rivalry is one of the most intense ones. Many consider it like a sibling rivalry in a backyard game where one tries to dominate the other. However, in reality, it’s much more than that. The neighbours leave no stones unturned to outwit each other in every aspect of life and when it’s the field of sports, the intensity only multiplies.
Both are sports loving nation and it will be the third World Cup final face-off for them this year when their rugby sides — All Blacks (New Zealand) and The Wallabies (Australia) face each other in the Rugby World Cup final on Saturday. Earlier, this year New Zealand lost both — cricket and the netball World Cup final against Australia. Mitchell Johnson wants The Wallabies to complete a hat-trick of World Cups for Australia
New Zealand cricket captain Brendon McCullum knows it well how much it hurts when you lose a final against the Aussies. The Black Caps skipper in a Instagram video, uploaded from blackcapnz’s official account, wished the “All the best” to All Blacks skipper Richie McCaw and his side.
All Blacks are the defending World champions and both nations have won the World title twice. While Australia have historically dominated the cricket contests against their little neighbours, in Rugby it has been a different story with New Zealand having scalped the chunk of the wins and expected to replicate the same tonight.
