That was a waste of two hours…..!. Quins are just magic aren’t they?. They absolutely ripped Bristol to shreds. Can’t wait to see Marcus Smith at 10 for England. If Eddie doesn’t pick Smith or Dombrandt he is officially off his rocker.

just my opinion but at the moment I think the Springboks are the better team in more facets of the game than the All Blacks. I feel like in every game between the two since 2018, the Boks have made a lot more of the play. The ABs have won their games through moments of individual brilliance or...

I’ve just watched the game on record. What a game of rugby, it would have been a travesty had the All Blacks won that, the Boks were fantastic. That SA performance was a lot better than any they produced when they won the RWC. Where did it come from?!. These two games have made one thing clear...

The Wallabies should cruise this. Argentina have looked off the pace this year. Wallabies to win 35 - 13.

Everything says the ABs should hammer the Boks on Saturday but I’m expecting a good, old fashioned scrap. I think the Boks will go back to their kick-chase and set-piece type game. They were quite expansive early on against Australia, I can’t see them doing that against the All Blacks. As long...

Winners in bold: Gloucester v Leicester Bath v Newcastle - can see Falcons sneaking this ala last year Exeter v Northampton Harlequins v Worcester Wasps v Bristol - Bristol were very poor against Saracens London Irish v Sale - Sale should win but they are not the same away from Salford

Wallabies have really improved in the last two weeks, it’s good to see. That was comfortable in the end. What has happened to the Springboks?. They have been awful. It’s good to see the Wallabies learning from their mistakes though. In the last two games they’ve been a lot smarter and have got...

After seeing the All Blacks team I’m a little more nervous about my prediction of an easy win. That team has talent in abundance but I’m never keen on seeing loads of new combinations at once. It’s hard to get into a rhythm. I hope Foster hasn’t made a massive mistake here. Don’t get me wrong...

The Boks really should win this week but Suncorp is not their favourite ground. The Wallabies have a great record there as well. I’m going to say SA by 3 but with absolutely no confidence. It could go either way. Just think that when the Springboks are up against it they really come out firing.

I can only see this going one way. After the indifferent performances last year Foster has finally got the ABs playing to a consistently good standard. They will beat Argentina and it won’t be close. ABs to win 37 - 10.

All Blacks way too good for the Pumas today. That was a very one-sided game. Argentina hardly threatened the ABs line. 39 - 0 the All Blacks have to be satisfied with that. The pack really stepped up to the mark and dominated most of the collisions. There were still a few errors but overall the...

Having seen the Wallabies in all of their games this year I can’t see anything other than a huge win for the Boks. I know SA have a poor record in Australia but this Aussie side is awful. They can’t defend and they can’t play against teams that go direct. I think the Boks will win by 15 points...

I think the All Blacks will win this but they won’t have it all their own way. I think Argentina will push them a lot more than the Aussies did. It will be a good examination for the All Black pack to see how much they’ve improved from last year. The ABs need to really tighten up their defence...

Good to see the ABs picking the strongest available side. Yes no Smith, Mo’unga or Whitelock but we knew that already. I guess this is not a “dead-rubber” because there’s Rugby Championship points on offer. I said the Wallabies would win this one…. I’ll rethink that I think. All Blacks by 20.

This is all set up for the Wallabies to get their annual win in the game that doesn’t matter. When there’s no pressure on them against NZ they turn up and play properly. I’ve seen this movie too many times and know how it ends. Aussies to win by 6 and all the Aussie papers to go on about how...

It’s not the fact that the All Blacks have held the Bledisloe for 19 years, it’s the fact that the Wallabies are probably further away from winning it now than they’ve ever been. Hopefully the atrocious crowd at the game today will wake a few administrators up. People are getting bored of the...

Oh sh*t, when the Wallabies talk about the ABs ”losing their Aura” it never ends well for them!. I’ve seen this cycle before. Average ABs performance in Bled 1 + Talk about them being in decline = Eden Park hammering. Reference points = 2008, 2014, 2015, 2019, 2020!. Let’s not forget that...

What’s everyone thinking this week then?. Common sense should tell you that the ABs will massively improve from last week and will win more comfortably yet I’m not convinced. There is an inconsistency about them at the moment. They seem to be getting by on individual bits of magic rather than on...

Venue: Eden Park KO: 7.05pm (NZ) Referee: Brendon Pickerill (New Zealand)

I think France will win it. At home with those crowds behind them they’re going to take some beating. The Wallabies could be the dark horses because, should they win their group, they wouldn’t play NZ, SA or France until the semis. They would avoid SA, NZ and France. I’m not confident about...
