The weather is typically good during this time in the UK, often the driest times of the year. When it does rain, it is usually very light rains and for intermittent short periods. The heavy winter storms start in November and the mud bath "rugby pitches" are prepared. 
This should favour all the Southern Hemisphere teams as the ground will be harder and more suited to a quick multi-phase possession. This will give less opportunity for the Northern Hemisphere refs to award penalties and the eternal rucks. 
This year in Winter, tactical kicking and poor ruck play meant the boks played most of the game in their own half and when with possession its slow. 
Pollard will be more experienced after another season of SuperXV, and should have improved his kicking game anyway to give more options.

 All one hopes for is a bit of player managment. Dont play J annie every game etc. Not asking for too much!

 September rains quite a bit, shouldn't affect us too much as that's when we play our pool matches. The further we go the colder and drier it will become.
