title: Torneo de las Tres Naciones 2006
text: # Torneo de las Tres Naciones 2006
  
  El Torneo de las Tres Naciones 2006, una competencia anual de rugby entre los equipos de las uniones de Australia, Nueva Zelanda y Sudáfrica, siendo el décimo aniversario de la competencia. Faltando tres rondas, los All Blacks se aseguraron el primer puesto de la competencia después de su victoria sobre Australia el 19 de agosto, su 21.er partido ganado en forma consecutiva como local.
  
  Este año, fue la primera vez que cada equipo enfrentó a los otros tres veces, en vez de dos como se hacía en ediciones anteriores. Esta nueva modalidad resultó gracias al nuevo sistema de televisación que acordó el SANZAR, consorcio de las tres federaciones de rugby que organizan este torneo, y las empresas de televisación en los tres países del SANZAR y el Reino Unido. Por lo tanto con la nueva modalidad la duración de la competencia se extendió y se transcurrió entre el 8 de julio hasta el 9 de septiembre. En esta edición, Nueva Zelanda fue 2 veces local ante Australia, este último lo fue ante Sudáfrica, y este lo fue ante el primer mencionado.
  
  Los All Blacks ganaron sus tres partidos contra Australia, reteniendo así la Bledisloe Cup.El equipo neozelandés también ganó dos de sus tres partidos contra Sudáfrica, obteniendo así por primera vez la Freedom Cup. Australia recuperó el Mandela Challenge Plate después de ganar sus dos partidos como local ante Sudáfrica.

  ## Antecedentes
  
  ### Australia
  
  A finales del 2005, los Wallabies parecían estar en decadencia después de obtener un récord de siete derrotas consecutivas. Esta mala racha provocó la salida del entrenador Eddie Jones y su reemplazo por John Connolly. En la serie de partidos jugados a mitad de 2006 mostró una mejoría ganándole dos veces a Inglaterra y obteniendo un triunfo ante Irlanda. El capitán de Irlanda, Brian O'Driscoll - quien enfrentó a los Wallabies y los All Blacks en esa serie de partidos de mitad de año, estuvo más sorprendido con los Wallabies, y los tildó como favoritos por sobre los All Blacks.
