[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 661270, member: 57076"] quite noble of you, I like your complete fairness approach. It's true, the Pumas had the Boks two years in a row and especially that first time, in 2012, unbelievable they let that chargedown happen, immediate try. Drawn game. And you're right about their chances passing, but they can never look back, they were incredibly valiant those first two tournaments although the second was inconsistent as it gets for a Rugby team. Like, beyond France level :p So another winless campaign is easily anticipated for the Pumas...we'll just have to see. well that's the thing, everybody's waiting on the Waratahs' (and other Aus clubs) form to take the Wallabies to the promised land. They're a lot better up front and in the backs, and Foley controls the game really well. They lacked a lot of girth up front last year and lacked a fully operational backline, now they've got those sorted. They can absolutely beat the Boks, in fact I believe they have the potential to knock em out pretty hard the way we'd seen them do during that 2008-2011 years span. Wallabies can be quick as hell and the Boks may be too big and relatively slow and be subjected to that insane pace and command of skill the Aussies possess, and with the Wallabies if you're not really really careful, the tries just pile up and pile up... Beat NZ though ?...still would say no. [/QUOTE]
