Huge test: Kaplan to officiate in Brisbane

The wait is finally over as Australia and New Zealand go head-to-head for Tri-Nations 2008 glory in Brisbane on Saturday.

It will be a last day decider with two teams going into the clash on the back of contrasting results - the Wallabies lost heavily to the Springboks while the All Blacks ran riot against Samoa.

And the men in the middle are, of course, South Africans, in the shape of Jonathan Kaplan (record-equalling 46th Test) with Craig Joubert and Mark Lawrence running the touchlines.
