I don't have the stats at hand, but i wouldn't be surprised if we have better stats away than at home. I get using twickenham is a ridiculous decision from a fan's perspective, but we are not giving up an inch performance wise in doing so.Should be a cracker, still don't think you guys have the cardio to live with Australia. Plus your home game isn't at home.
And about the cardio comment 2 points: First, i have thought about it and i just don't get it. I refuse to believe the gap between us and AUS/RSA/NZ comes from something as simple as cardio. I simply do not believe that.
If that is the case we need fire the coach on the spot. No questions asked. It'd be the dictionary definition of incompetence.
You cannot, i repeat, you simply cannot, have a cardio problem for over a year (we had the exact same problem against the ABs in 2015). It'd be like buying a world class F1 team and finishing 4 because you didn't have enough money to pay for the gas.
Out of all the problems a team can face, i'd say cardio is one of the easiest to solve.
I have to give them the benefit of doubt and believe it is not cardio.
Second, i am not convinced. You claim we cannot keep up with with Australia's cardio, but we managed to score 22 points on the ABs while Australia best was 9. I'd still rate Australia as favourites, but i wouldn't be very surprised if we managed to sneak a win.
