actually, betfair agrees with you. Has strong favourites in Eng, NZ, SA and then slightly more even favouring Wales

Worryingly this is how it went down in 07.

I'd rather him than Garces or Poite. He knows he owes us a solid

They have a hunch like @sparky and @MiketheSnow or are they using regression modelling?

I didn't think the Wallabies would beat England in 2015 either, and they flogged the fuck out of them.
I reckon this will be tight as hell. If the Wallabies can stop Tuilagi galloping over the advantage line, they are a big hope.

On the flipside England will need to stop Koroibete and Kerevi from galloping over the advantage line as well. If the Wallabies forwards can slog their guts out to get some parity those two can wreck havoc.

absolutely. I think i would probably play O'Connor at 13 though, he is a calm head, and feeds the outsides well. Accurate tackler is another benefit.
Edit: Whoops, i mixed up my Fijians and read Kuridrani.

Tuilagi and Vunipola - if they're both fit and playing, the Wallabies will have a long day at the office.

My concern with Oz is who is their best 10? Doesn't seem clear to me.
Doesn't seem clear to anyone I'd say. Foley is out of form. Lealiifano doesn't appear to be able to make the step up. Toomua too often plays like the second five-eighth he is.
That being said, I'd play White, Toomua, Kerevi and JOC

Yeah - in a game with no cards, I've got England winning by 10+.

20 Naisarani
21 Genia
22 Toomua
23 PetaiaIf Beale is NOT passed to play (ha ha), I would put DHP at FB, and AAC on the wing.
Yeah that backrow is more about mobility than size, but bothing to lose, so fuck it.
England are going to eat up our one-out running bullshit, and unless Cheika has a waterproof (airtight?) powder cabinet, we're out to the tune of 15 points.

@NTA Where's Simmons in your list?
Has there been a more maligned player to reach 100 tests?

Let me answer your question with a question: is it deserved?

Difference could be Farrells boot, lack of consistency at 10 and goal kicking could bite the convicts. To be fair I think the tight 5 is going very well with good props which is hard to say.
It really just comes down to which Wallabies side turns up, Perth version wins, Eden Park version gets destroyed.
-
It would take a small miracle for Aussie to steal this one (pun intended) but having said that if there is one game they can get up for it's the Poms. Biggest concern is the tight 5 and their 12s lack of a distribution game (Farrell will just knock him over all day).

That’s their best line for sure.
Does Hodge come straight back in?
