The compelling Tri-Nations series has become a tale of the scrum-halves according to the New Zealand Herald's Wynne Grey.
"The All Blacks have seen a resurgent Piri Weepu, the Springboks have felt the pain without the injured Fourie du Preez, and the Wallabies are trusting in the repair work on Will Genia's knee and hand.
"...Without du Preez the Boks looked uncertain. Their talisman was missing and so was their sting. Weepu, given his chance to start because of Cowan's injury and his average form at Eden Park, strutted a form portfolio at the Cake Tin which had been hidden for large segments of the Super 14.
"That form will give the selectors plenty of thought about changing their philosophy on the starting halfback for Melbourne when the All Blacks travel across the Ditch next week."
