I can't see any side winning it outside SA and NZ and maybe a outside shot would be France. Australia and England are crap and Ireland IMO don't have the side to win. I reckon its just going to be two way traffic.

As I pointed out earlier:**** me, England were dire.. I reckon we'd have put 80 past them if we didn't have to put up with Januarie and his errors... Makes up slightly for Twickers anyway.. Really annoyed I was told it was a sell out, I'd have gone otherwise
Why did England give a load of 25+'s debuts?.. Do they have no good young players whatsoever?? Or are they injured?
Loved Habana's try, Monty and Schalk back to their best one feels..
We weren't exactly shuffling with a full pack (pun intended).

Get well soon, big fella. "Legend" is bandied about all too readily nowadays, but this bloke qualifies.

That Toeava try looked alright to me. Never mind, Sivivatu has just scored anyway from a forward pass. 28-6...25 min to go

Chabal and Durant were the best French players IMO, although that didn't stop us from giving them a good pasting. I was just happy that they managed to cross our line. Still plenty of work for Graham Henry to do, I'll be watching Australia vs Wales with some excitement.

Pretty scrappy Test. Typical of the first Test of the season. The highlight was Piri Weepu's penalty.

Chabal's huge hit on Chris Masoe IMO.

Still a pretty ****house Aussie line up though, especially the backline. Guys like Huxley shouldn't be playing test rugby imo

Aftermath of Jerry's tackle TBH.

Huxley definately not. He had a good season but isn't up to the required standard, Norton-Knight on the other hand I rate quite highly.

What about Matt 'Where's the pies?' Dunning?
Paul Honiess the ref. I like the free flowing ones, unlike some of some South Africian or other European refs who call on the slightest thing.

I don't know why you rate Norton-Knight. I big part of being a decent 1st 5 is the ability to pass both ways, Norton-Knight can't pass to his right and is susceptible to brain-explosions like the Tuqiri-push incident. He's ordinary imo, but at least Larkham's playing now.

Not first choice Wales either tho. Mind you, they'll do better than we will later. Can't recall looking forward to an English test less.

Yeah these tours are becoming a bit of a joke really. The WC has way too much influence on the game these days

He has the potential to be the next Larkham IMO. If the Waratahs give him a decent amount of gametime at flyhalf then he'll be able to do it, they need to stop using him on the wing or at inside centre.

Can't see him getting close to being as good as Larkham tbh, doesn't have any vision and lacks basic ball skills that come natural to Larkham
