Who do you reckon has the potentially strongest pack out of AB and Eng?
No doubt, New Zealand are streets ahead of England as a whole but I was pretty impressed with England's pack yesterday. And was very impressed with AB against Wales all the way through. They are looking awesome at the moment.

We'll find out this week, won't we? Sheridan looked good against Hayman in the Maori match but Hayman's cause wasn't helped by having Corey Flynn and Deacon Manu alongside and the skinny beanpole Sean Hohneck as one of the locks pushing.PY said:
Aside from that, I hold no fears. Williams and Jack have formed a brilliant second row partnership this season, while Collins, So'oialo and McCaw will match the English in strength and hammer the English at the breakdown.
If possession is equal, we'll slaughter England in the backs.

I reckon England should try Lewsey at centre (he's played there quite a bit for Wasps) in place of Jamie Noon- having 2 crash-and-bashers like Tindall & Noon doesn't seem to be working- and start with van Gisbergen at the back. That might give a bit more creativity.....
Just read that Martyn Wood of Bath's out for the season with a neck injury that was the result of a freak trampolining accident in training!?! Bummer
Nick Walshe has got a knee injury too....running a bit short on scrum-halves now! At least Andy Williams can get a decent run in his preferred position

But it isn't a good sign for Wales if they have an injury crisis at the World Cup is it?
These days, its rare to see a side put their best side on the field consistently because there are always injuries.
NZ im absolutely certain will play a near full-strength side, if not their first pick team. Out of all the games on this tour, the one they will want to win the most is England. They'll want to come away from Twickenham with a sound win.
