[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 586296, member: 43875"] going to be interesting, you think the Aussies really need to win this one to get off well with a new coach but them Robbie Deans beat the All Blacks in his first try and we all know who that helped him. :p Ewen has the clean slate, the unexpected factor which will be in his favor. Also with no Aussie teams in the super final he has had more time with his players. So I see this as kinda a very similar situation to Deans first test back in 2008. As always in this tournament the home advantage is great but you also have the most to lose. One away win can be enough to win the whole championship and one home loss can be enough to rule you out as a contender so with home advantage comes pressure to win as well. really need to see the teams before going into any predictions on how the game may turn out. At this stage if Nonu and Saili are injured we may very well see Cruden at 10 and Carter at 12 [/QUOTE]
