I feel I have to warn the head in sand Kiwis about this lest they get even more complacent.(Think saSue, hacked waagh, JW, brycy, Cloudy, poooie, nuked free warped DUd etc etc)
The position oaks is as follows. OZ sides are doing very well and there is loads of talent particulary in the backline. Their forwards are looking better and all in all they present a serious threat.
The wee abs are on a decline and there are some players are creeking at the joints.
For the Boks injuries are mounting and one really doesnt know where we will be come RC time. Last year the Sharks and the Stormers each ahd 17 squad members out. If this happens again we might be in trouble.
I would not however be surprised if the Bledislow Cup ends up in Oz? Abs record last year was a combination of extreme luck and refs. The writing is on the wall but it would perhaps be best if they did well as that would mean some weak players going to world cup - here think wee mcaaaw, woodie woodcokker, mealamu, etc.
Have the kiwis got the smarts to realise changes are required.
