By Alex McLeodWith the All Blacks taking a week-long break between their demolition of the Springboks and the upcoming Bledisloe Cup clash at Eden Park, the biggest fixture in New Zealand's sporting landscape is non-existent this weekend. Fortunately, there are far more sporting contests for Kiwi sports fans to delve into than just the All Blacks, so here is a look at five of the top fixtures taking place over the weekend in the place of the All Blacks' absence from our TV screens. Kiwis vs KangaroosWhen: 10pm, Saturday 15 OctoberWhere: nib Stadium, PerthHow to watch: Live coverage of the match begins at 9:30pm on Sky Sport 2Probably the biggest and most mouth-watering clash taking place this weekend is the rugby league test match between the Kiwis and the Kangaroos in Perth tomorrow night. With that in mind, the Black Caps will be wanting to kick their ODI series off to the best start possible by grabbing a win over the hosts. While the rugby still rolls on our screens despite the temporary departure of the All Blacks, many viewers will say the prospect of watching the Mitre 10 Cup as nowhere near as exciting as an All Blacks test.
