Sorry mate, but I'm pretty sure it's over three now not two.
Think about this way, it will be much harder for Aussie to retain it if they fluke a win one year.

granted was a good tackleOriginally posted by CeeJay+Feb 17 2006, 10:01 AM-->Gregans tackle on wilson was the moment all kiwis started hating him, and it continues to this day.
nothing will beat J Eales in 5th minute injury time
Mortlock come into the picture to kick
Eales barges in and pinches the ball and says
"I'm taking this"
2 minutes later........history was made
1 year later - history repeated......in the name of Matty Burke :bleh!:
:bravo: :cheers: :bravo:
they were the good ole days

Can we please stop talking about this, this is the reason why i only normally post in the gaming section......the anger......keeps coming back, i laughed at John eales when he stepped up for the kick....but i wasnt laughing for long. The nightmares dont come as often now, and id like to keep it that way.

The Bledisloe is essentially a challenge cup and as such it should be hard to win. If every year the Bledisloe changed hands it would lose some of it's appeal. After Australia held it for so long 1998 - 2003 you could see how much it meant for the New Zealand players to win it back. Some of those players would never had held the trophy aloft before yet grew up with the history and magic of it.
I think that the two match format probably needed changing but it still worked especially as it made it tougher and more worthwhile to win.
With the three match format - the country (especially if that country is the challenger) that has two home games will have the big advantage to either keep or win the Bledisloe. And I don't think that it is fair. I assume that this will be rotated each year so it means that if you lose the Bledisloe then the next year you should be able to get it back with two home games.
