[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 591503, member: 39190"] How much better is the Rugby championship than the 3N!?! I mean a home and away against NZ and Aus is just soooo much better than the skewed 3N was and Argentina have been more competitive than I would have thought; a draw last year was a fantastic result for them and besides the drubbing at Loftus this year they have been in good(ish) form and will likely be targeting the Aus scalp. Yes, easier said than done for them but if they can repeat their previous two performances and dominate at the scrum as expected... I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled off the upset. Back to this game... with no injuries you'd expect an unchanged team from SA and rightly so. Good that we are building some momentum but this will be a HUGE test even without McCaw. We enter as underdogs but this year we will arguably be NZ's biggest test since the RWC final. What I am hoping for is for the guys to keep up the intensity and improve the accuracy and hope the result takes care of itself. If we can at least muster a losing BP (not that the guys shouldn't go in to win!!) I expect us to beat Aus at home with a BP and then we just need to beat NZ at home for the ***le. [/QUOTE]
