Englishman Karl Dickson is the referee. The good folk in the Eden Park PR team tell us they're expecting to sell 6500 punnets of hot chips and 2000 boxes of donuts. If the All Blacks win all three matches, the series is no big deal. Lose one, and we'll shift nervously in our seats. So, there will be many tea leaves to sift after this series.
