[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 666824, member: 57076"] given the current balance of power considering the latest int'l results, I'd imagine the general consensus for this goes something like the Wallabies winning by around 4-8. Wallabies are still in this (in theory) - the latest images of Mccaw scoring 2 tries in a rampant AB effort and lifting the Bledisloe Cup lead us to thinking they're dead and buried, but then we're reminded they only lost 1 game so far. They've a tie and a loss... What can be said about the matchup ? Boks won't have issues in the scrum, and will probably have an advantage there in stead. That unlocks a big channel that was completely shut in the Pumas series. I do hope they stop playing Beale at the 10 and put Foley there, I mean they weren't planning on proceeding in the whole tournament with Beale at 10 were they, have to stop that eventually. Foley's young but just won a SR ***le, so it's not like he's in adorable puppy-mode either. He a man now - A MAYNN. Not much to be said about this matchup that isn't already classic about it. It's mass vs flair. Wallabies can run them off the park, or the Boks can over-power them for 80min, and everything in-between. A major difference this year for the Wallabies is they've added more consistency and girth up front. [/QUOTE]
