[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 818888, member: 55747"] On paper, i like our odds, but if i see our last games vs Aus, it's as if they have some sort of attack bonus against us. Every single mistake we make costs us 7 points. It's that simple. I sincerely do not believe they are that better than us, but we struggle against them a lot. It might be a style thing, but their game appears to counter ours very well. Until 2010 i would have picked to face Australia as opposed to RSA, 10 times out of 10. Now i'd pick RSA without hesitation. Our "more open" style, when executed properly, has provided decent results against Ireland, RSA, France and to a degree, NZ, but not against Australia. They are particularly good at slowing us down at the breakdown too, which is key for our strategy. They are a more disciplined team, too. I don't think the crowd will make a difference. Some of our best performances have been away. To answer petite's question Australia is arguably just as hated as us, if not a tad more.
