Default Australia vs All Blacks

Yeah, the Wallabies look woeful and the Bledisloe Cup's about to slide across the Tasman. It's all part of a devious plot to get more tickets for the World Cup sold.

The All Blacks have built too soon, England are old men and are out of it, South Africa are good at home, can't travel, French get homesick. Only leaves Australia for the World Cup, doesn't it?

bloody hell. seems a tad off in the analysis...?!! ;-)

England have groomed a team for excellence with a myriad of replacements to ease in after RWC/come on as replacements = better do it this year as most of their squad will all be annoucing their retirement soon after...

The All Blacks, Aussie and jappies are all rebuilding in haste and are misfiring/uncertain: etc in order of prospects -

NZ- rebuilding and seem to be stabilising - the 3N will be useful - maybe they will finish preps in time- but Spencer can't kick (woeful!) and Mitchell is picking funny blokes to play like Meg Ryan over steve devine. Meg Ryan has one of the slowest passes in the super 12. Thorne is hopeless. Howlett slick as is roko.

Aussie - rebuilding but loads of backline players like Mortlock, Larkham to come back from injury. pack woeful. Rogers is a fullback not a centre and his swerve not so useful in midfield.

SA - no hope it seems - but it would be typical if they beat Eng in the pool in Perth!!! that would stuff up English chances of a final.

France - loadsa luck and "flair" may bring fruit.

England backline should be:

lewsey
robinson
tindall
greenwood
cohen
dawson
the kid

It hurts me to say this, but I want the Wallabies to win on Saturday. It will mean that all teams will have one & lost the same amount of games, so the Boks still have a chance (I think we can win in Oz but not In Duneidin)!!!.

Wallabies had no problem in proving how woeful they have become. That's one outstanding All Blacks outfit - carrying on from a classy Super 12's series. Badgers, if you reckon that's a side rebuilding, you ain't seen nothing yet. They're rightly World Cup favourites.

Get your money on the Wallabies now to retain the cup, you'd get a fair enough price.
