The game is predicted to be a close one. Forward battle & midfield clash are both something to look forward to. IMO wet conditions will even out the talent gap. But if this is the case it will be good experience for the ABs - playing NH side in such conditions can only help ABs prep for RC & the Boks style of play.

 Wet game will favour the poms, unless they promote Barrett to starting 10. Cruden's tactical kicking game and his kicking for poles are suspect under preasure.

Err who won Beeno, lol 
Also 16 victories in a row & 1 loss since 2011 RWC. Should I ask Sasuke San to list trophies or Hakwa to display them as pictures (it tends to aid communication, lol)

 JW, you boys have done well the last couple of years,  except for losing against the poms. We used to be able to beat you lot once a year, but that seems to have changed the last 3 years. Its bound to chamge and methinks it will be this year. The convicts also seems better this year, so don't get too comfy.....:-)

 To comfortable pffffffffft after being saved by the ref two weekends in a row against an understrength England side - no chance of that Draad. The wee abs are on high alert! H eads are being scratched and there are frantic strategy sessions going on to find a way out of the decline. Its rumoured they have phoned Jake for some ideas.

Looks like I may have to miss watching the game as I may be paddling a canoe in a Polish lake. Up SH.ts creek without a paddle comes to mind I will see if I can at least get the live updates on planet rugby. I can't trust Beeno's commentary so I doubt I will be on the "official" live stream, lol
