Here's a positive take -
ABs have won all their first up matches v France, Argentina, South Africa & Australia this year.
Hopefully that carries into the end of season tour.

@nonpartizan and they broke thier win-lose pattern they were establishing
-
Lose to Ireland, beat Scotland, lose to England, beat Wales

That record should see some guys lose their jobs

I don't think England are there yet, getting closer but not close enough. Ireland are I feel the only realistic chance.

So hard to pick, we have a talented team but are poorly coached overall, so anything could happen on the day.
I kind of hope this tour is either an absolute disaster so we can easily move this coaching group on, or the team puts out a statement performance, wins the grand slam and never looks back. Nothing in between. I've picked us to take the grand slam as I think we are good enough to do it, and despite how harsh I have been on our current coaches, I actually do want to see them do well.

Bulldusta appears to have voted 10 times. Or a sizeable section of this forum is far more optimistic than I was led to believe...

We'll piss it in boys.
No-one will get within 10 points unless we have a rash of cards.
So that means they will then?

I think we will lose against England or Scotland, but not both.

@nostrildamus I refuse to entertain wet blanketry!

Went for 2 losses, but we might just be saved by England having a coach almost as out of his depth as ours.
I refuse to be optimistic anymore.
I think England are improving arent they?
Dont see an issue with their coaching

Yup, rueben Love and billy proctor will be the major casualties

We should beat Ireland in the US. It’s their first match together and not at home.
Yes, 2016 and all that but Ireland arent really a side on the up.
England will be the toughest side to beat. They will be fired up due to 3 close losses last year. It may depend on how many injuries England come into the game with.
Wales will be easybeats.
Scotland have one of their best sides so will be looking to create history. They will mstch us in many areas and probably have a better backline than ours. AB fans cannot handle anymore unwanted history.
Overall, we should win 3 and go close to a slam.
Historically, UK and Ireland teams have a dip after a Lions tour so if that continues then a grand slam would be a great achievement for this All Black side.

@nostrildamus Look at their backline.

Best in years. Some seriously classy players.
Unfortunately I'm sure they'll do the rabbit in the headlights act they always do and shit the bed against the MIB. They just don't play the All Blacks as much as Argentina and Ireland ( they last toured here in 2000. Fucken 2000 !?!?!?!?!?! ) who have both strung together some well deserved victories.
