[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 661105, member: 40658"] Well, it depends. We are now starting the "World Cup Year - Cycle". So there are a few things to focus on. For me it would be to keep on getting the core team in preparation for the WC, while still winning most of the games. This squad that HM picked, is IMHO the best squad he could've picked for this tournament, with a good balance of youth and experience mixed in there. We have the Big guys that can do the business, while not losing out on pace and creativity. I can't find fault in the squad, while others will/do. My expectation is to win everything on home soil. 2 games are on the Highveld at Loftus and Ellis Park, with the test Against the Aussies at Newlands. Which might also be great due to the underfoot conditions being slippery making their backline less potent. As for the touring tests, it's going to be tough, but we got a lucky break in having to play the Aussies in Perth and then the All Blacks in Wellington. Both places where we have won in the past. This team, CAN win all the games. The question is if they are going to click on the day. [/QUOTE]
