[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 772204, member: 58362"] I know that you like a bet, if the following matches were played on neutral territory, under cover, between fully fit sides from both nations, how would you price the following matches? Japan vs England Wales vs Ireland Georgia vs Scotland That said, I'm not sure if I agree with the "if fully fit" caveat in principle - in reality, injuries are part of the game, teams with more versatile players and more strength in depth deal with them better, so rank higher. Equally you could argue that it is part of a union's job to do everything they can to turn up to important games with their players in good shape. Some unions seem better than others about this. I've said before that I think Wales' boot camp style training camps are a big risk, particularly with a lack of depth in some positions. [/QUOTE]
