[QUOTE="Tricia McMillan, post: 460641, member: 51138"] I'm with you on that one as well. Maybe it's because I now consider myself to be a full adult (as opposed to 2007 and earlier; in 2007 I was 21 but hadn't "grown up" yet and for the others I was a teenager or younger), but for the past few years I've been a lot more "realistic" about sports. While I'm aware we're favored in this match for a reason, I'm also fully aware that the Wallabies could get it together and stun us in our own back yard. As opposed to 2007, I didn't even take the French seriously at all, and was thinking about playing England for a place in the final before the match against France even started. It was similar for other tournaments, as with 1995 where I was expecting us to blow the Springboks out of the water in front of their own fans (of course, I was 9 years old and didn't really know much about rugby at the time).
