Here in the Attic, we love nothing more than debating all things sport.

Completely subjective things - like, the greatest sportsman ever, the greatest comeback of all time - that sort of thing.

So we thought we'd start a weekly Top 5 - there have been literally hundreds of debates in the Attic, and it's only fair to share the results of those debates with you! As we said, these arguments are purely subjective. We're not claiming to be 'right', and the Top 5's we come up with are based on our view of the topic.

If you think we're wrong - tell us!

We start with the greatest Tri Nations clashes, seeing as this year's Tri Nations has kicked off with such a bang.

Here's our Top 5:

Ok, so it may have only been played last Saturday, but this game was one of the real greats. It was one of the toughest games we've seen in a long time, and right up to the final whistle, either side could have walked away with the win.
With less than ten minutes to go, the Springboks were down to 14 men when Matfield was sent to the bin for a high tackle. It looked as though the All Blacks had the game sewn up, until a piece of pure magic from Janurie gave the Springbok's an incredible 30-28 victory.

This Test came just three weeks after the All Blacks had beaten the Aussies in that 39-35 thriller in Sydney, and was just as entertaining (other than the fact the All Blacks lost, of course). The Wallabies took a 12-nil lead early on, and looked to be in control of the game - until Christian Cullen sparked, and scored a double to put the All Blacks right back in the game. The All Blacks led 23-21 in the final minutes, but with the Wallabies hot on attack Craig Dowd gave away a penalty, which gave the Wallabies a chance to pick up the win. Step up the unlikely hero, John Eales (not known for his goal kicking abilities) - but, cool as you like, he slotted it down the middle. An unbelievable end to an amazing Test.

This was the first ever Tri Nations match, and really could not have got off to a better start - for the All Blacks, at least. The weather was appalling, with heavy rain and a very cold southerly. Despite the weather, the All Blacks opened up the Australian defence, crossing the line six times. They played a near-perfect game, and kept the Wallabies to just two penalty goals. This game marked the beginning of the greatest competition in international rugby, and it has never looked back.

This Test was another try scoring bonanza for the All Blacks. The backs carved up the Wallablies, and finished the day with seven trys to the Wallabies three. Joe Rokocoko dotted down for a hatrick, while Howlett, Umaga, Carter and Mauger all chimed in. What makes this performance even more impressive was the fact that the week before, they had thrashed the Springboks 52-16 in South Africa. One hundred points in two Tests, against their two biggest rivals. The Wallabies would get their revenge at the World Cup, but at that moment the All Blacks were untouchable.

This choice was easy, and it's no surprise given that this is considered one of the greatest Tests of ALL time. In front of a record 110,000 screaming Aussies, the All Blacks opened up with an early 24-nil lead in only eight minutes. The Wallabies hadn't even touched the ball. It looked over before it had even started, but the Wallabies began an incredible fightback, and at halftime the scores were even 24-24. The second half was just as entertaining, and when Jeremy Paul crossed the line towards the end of time, it looked as if the Wallabies had pulled off the greatest comeback of all time. Cue Taine Randell, setting up Jonah Lomu, who beat a George Gregan tackle to score the winning try. Final score - 39-35 to the mighty All Blacks.

This really was the 'Greatest Test match EVER', and rightly sits as number one on this week's Top 5.

The New Zealand Cricket Chief Executive, Justin Vaughan, has announced that NZC are on the hunt for a new coach, who will replace John Bracewell when his contract expires next season.

Bracewell has already lined up a new job as coach for the English county club Gloucestershire, which will be his second stint with the club.

Bracewell's term in charge hasn't been overly successful, with the Black Caps still struggling to find form in the longer version of the game. And while we are still rated third in one dayers, we haven't progressed to where we can put up a challenge against Australia or South Africa on a regular basis.

We here in the Attic are - quite frankly, sorry John - pleased to see him leave, and we're looking forward to seeing who leads them into the future.

Justin Vaughan has put the call out to coaches worldwide, and will be looking for someone with the experience to coach the Black Caps, and ultimately improve their current standings - most notably in Tests.

Please.

Some of the candidates from New Zealand are Dipak Patel (who has coached the Under 19's) and Auckland Aces coach, Mark O'Donnell.

Steve Rixon and John Wright are also rumoured to be in the running, and we think either one of them would make a good choice.

Whoever the NZC go with, it honestly has to be better than Bracewell.

He's done nothing for the development of cricket in New Zealand - and, ultimately, isn't that what a coach is supposed to do?

Robbie Deans has named his side to take on the Springboks, in the Wallabie's Tri Nations opener at Subiaco Oval, in Perth on Saturday night.

They have received a welcomed boost in the return of Lote Tuqiri, Nathan Sharpe and Wycliff Palu - all of whom missed the 40-10 win over France two weeks ago.

Sharpe will make up for Australia's current shortage on locks, with Dan Vickerman still unavailable due to an ankle injury, and James Horwill only recently passing fit after taking a knock to his sternum at training this week.

Drew Mitchell makes his way back to the squad after his good performances for the Australian A side, and will take his spot on the bench.

This will be the Wallabie's toughest Test this year - they've played a third-rate French side and a one-off Test against the Irish, and they will head into the game as heavy underdogs - especially after the Bok's recent performance against the All Blacks.

Here's their lineup:

1. Benn Robinson
2. Stephen Moore
3. Al Baxter
4. James Horwill
5. Nathan Sharpe
6. Rocky Elsom
7. George Smith
8. Wycliff Palu
9. Luke Burgess
10. Matt Giteau
11. Lote Tuqiri
12. Berrick Barnes
13. Stirling Mortlock (c)
14. Peter Hynes
15. Adam Ashley-Cooper

Reserves: Matt Dunning, Tatafu Polota-Nau, Hugh McMeniman, Phil Waugh, Sam Cordingley, Ryan Cross and Drew Mitchell.
