We count down the five big must-see sporting events that take place over the next three days.

The Kiwis are on the brink of capturing their second Four Nations title, but can they get past the Aussies in the final? The Kiwis thumped the Kangaroos 30-12 in the Four Nations opener in Brisbane three weeks ago, ending their eight-game losing streak against Australia and are confident they can do the same tomorrow in Wellington.

Follow all the action in Steven Holloway's live blog from 8.15pm (8.45pm Kick off). Then check out David Skipwith and Michael Burgess' match coverage.

The All Blacks continue their northern tour with their 30th meeting against Scotland - a side who has never beaten New Zealand. Steve Hansen made 15 changes to his starting lineup with the inclusion of Dan Carter at number 10 and back-up first-five Colin Slade named on the wing. Scotland enjoyed a 41-31 victory over Argentina last weekend but remain heavy underdogs heading into the Edinburgh test.

Get up early, put the kettle on and join Steven Holloway's live blog from 6am. Rugby reporters Gregor Paul and Patrick McKendry will provide match coverage.

Chris Wood will lead an exciting All Whites attack against China tomorrow morning, in New Zealand's first of two friendlies in Asia. Wood, who will become the youngest player to captain the All Whites, will link up with former Hamilton friends Marco Rojas and Ryan Thomas in a frontline bustling with power and pace.

Check our website early Saturday morning for Steven Holloway's match report.

MMA fighter Mark Hunt will fight Fabricio Werdum for the interim heavyweight title at UFC 180 in Mexico City on Sunday. Werdum (18-5-1) will start as a warm favourite against Hunt (10-8-1), but the Super Samoan is confident he will "knock this guy's face off."

NZME. reporter Daniel Richardson is in Mexico at the fight and will provide full coverage of the event online.

The Breakers' (6-3) clash with bottom of the table Wollongong (1-8) at Vector Arena tonight and will be full of confidence, following recent wins over top of the table Cairns and Townsville.

The game tips off at 7.30pm tonight and Kris Shannon will have the match report online, shortly after the final whistle.
