With another huge sporting year looming, ONE Sport got some predictions on what to expect.
Astrologer Don Murray, who has been putting his reputation on the line for years and claims a 90% success rate for sport, shared his tips with reporter Stephen Stuart.
Murray suggests things are not looking good for All Whites coach Ricki Herbert in the World Cup football year.
"Herbert is going to be disappointed and I don't think they (the All Whites) are going to go that well".
However, he sees a rosier 2010 for All Blacks coach Graham Henry who apparently is not so restricted by Saturn.
Yet for 2011 he still sees England and Australia as set to repeat the 2003 rugby Wold Cup final with New Zealand again missing out.
New Zealand cricket seemingly could not survive with Daniel Vettori and Murray predicts one month to be particularly special.
"I would say the best time for Daniel will be September. That's a good month...programme lots of games then," says Murray.
In the league world he is suggesting a big upheaval at the Warriors with assistant coach John Acland taking the top job from current coach Ivan Cleary after dominating in 2010 and 2011.
Billionaire golfer Tiger Woods may find himself in the rough again too says Murray.
"His love life is very hot and cold. Neptune and Uranus versus Venus but he's got a lot of losses in September and October. A real big downer"
The biggest winner for New Zealand sport in 2010?
Murray tips heavyweight boxer David Tua for a second heavyweight title shot ten years after his first attempt.
"I think he can win the world heavyweight tile. He's just got to get a shot at Klitchco and it's all over".
It remains to be seen how accurate the astrologer will be but winners and losers is what sport is all about.
