[QUOTE="Oliver Madden, post: 912977, member: 77963"] if if you notice my post said the All Blacks are perceived to be under pressure, not that I think they're under pressure. the reason I said that the AB's are perceived to be under a bit of pressure is that there was quite a lot of negative press reaction to some of their performances against France, particularly the 2nd test when they were poor. I don't think the AB's are under pressure, I was basing my claim on several media articles that I have read. one thing i will agree with you on is that the Bledisloe Cup is now a miles poorer event than it was 15-20 years ago. you saw that last year where i don't think they got much above 50,000 for the game at Sydney. in the golden era of Aussie rugby you got 100,000 for a Bledisloe test at ANZ Stadium. also this year Cheika has no excuses, the Wallabies have had a trial game to prepare and the Waratahs got to the semis in super rugby, Australia shouldn't be rusty and shouldn't get blown away as they did last year. time will tell though.
