But by how much?
That's the cold-sweat question for two different punters, who have each taken a big bet on the winning margin.
The TAB says one has placed $30,000 at $1.87 on New Zealand winning by at least 62 points (potentially returning $56,100)
The other has wagered the same amount at $2.45, for NZ to win by at least 68 points (for a $73,500 return).
