Scotland v Australia
-
Historically we always play close games against the Scots, and I expect this one to be similar. Wikipedia tells me eight of our last nine games vs Scotland have been decided by six points or less. The one outlier was when Scotland put 50 on us in 2017 after Sekope Kepu copped an early red card.
It will be a real test for us. I'm not expecting a win but I'd love to see us play smart rugby in cold/wet conditions. Strong defence and picking the right moments to attack.
We've got the pack to compete in a trench warfare style game, I think. And Lolesio is kicking well.
Prediction - 20-16 to Scotland but it could go either way.

I think the Aussies have got their tails up and are building in confidence, their attacking play has been excellent in the last 2 games.
Scotland also like to give the ball some air so I'm expecting a fast paced and entertaining game, I think Aussie will just shade the Scots and keep their grand slam alive. -
if it's open i firmly believe Australia have the better attacking athletes.
Of concern is the fact they shipped a lot of points to England, and even 20 to this iteration of Wales.
Could be a shootout

Possibly, Duhan Van Der Merwe only tends to score his ridiculous tries against England. He needs to branch out more

Bell looked weary. Team was a bit disjointed in the first half due to changes in combination.
And it's predicted to rain and/or snow.
It'll be tough
You’ve beaten two shit UK teams. Time for a real test.
Fortress Murrayfield will be full and the
South Africans, Poms, TongansScots will be ready to run riot.Scots were clinical dismantling Portugal, no reason they can’t destroy another minnow.
Scotland by 50.

Scotland > England > Wales
Honestly, if you’re going to expose your ignorance like that sometimes it’s best to just keep quiet.

Aren't Australia playing their brand-new superhero?
If Scotland win, I'll concede. But if Australia wins the counting of shit UK sides will increase by 1! -

I’m assuming some shit journalist has gone on about how the new winger will be looking at weaving some spells on debut ?
Very tough game to pick this one….

How is it his debut? I'm sure I've already seen some shit jokes about "looking to unleash some magic on the wing".
Maybe at Super-Rugby level? I guess I'll have to think up some "LOL - both your parents were murdered" gags for the test-level arena.
