[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 520862, member: 24910"] I tend to think that Australia getting 4th is unlikely, but I don't think it is completely out of the question. I also wouldn't rule out them winning the entire competition! I think Australia are very unpredictable really - over the last couple of years they have shown they are capable of beating the best teams in the world, but also have suffered losses to the likes of Samoa and Scotland. Yes, they clearly used weaker teams in these matches (and the conditions for the Scotland match were shocking), but because they lack depth if they suffer a couple of injuries they could be in big trouble. If, for example, Genia was out injured I think Australia would really struggle, as so much of their game-plan revolves around him. I felt the same about Pocock last season, but they have a couple of incredible promising back-ups for him in the squad now. I think Australia should beat Argentina in their match on the Gold Coast, but in Argentina it could be another story altogether! [/QUOTE]
