I was wrong. All blacks were extremely potent. Carter was superb. Aussies have got a lot of homework to do. Boks can beat both these sides with our first choice players and correct tactical game plan and decision making. But you have to say that the All Blacks are definite favourites for Bill.

It’s pretty damp here, I hope it doesn’t become a scrappy affair.

Conditions in the Home of the Bledisloe are cloudy, a consistent breeze and cool with the pressure valve slowly building to levels of Optimus Prime Time.

Well history has it against the Wobblies… I don’t see them winning… but if they do break the hoodoo… it’s going to shake the rugby world cup tree in many ways…

@mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-5: Have to agree. I think the AB's by about 15-20, first half possibly quite even and the Wannabees may even hit the sheds with an advantage. The power of the forwards will wear the Wallys down, as will the midfield. Gear against O'Conner ? Looking at our forward pack and platform we have the ascendancy all the way. No disrespect to OZ, they have improved out of site without a doubt- but I dont think this will be their game, unfortunately they have some amazing players but probably not enough to get them over the line in this one. Matching off head to head we have the strength, talent and experience by about ten over fifteen. Still it will be a cracker of a game.

MEN v boys, Blacks will run in six tries and the fastest running will be the medics dragging sick marsupials back into the bush. Expect to see one marsupial, with wandering hands, to be cut in two by tackles from Hell.

@ lawsy25(lawsy25), stew(stew), Nils(Nils), you lads are way too optimistic, Aussie will give you a run for your money, if a safa backs aussie to win then you know that you in shiit. All blacks will do well in scrums, lineout and breakdown but won’t completely demolish aussies upfront. Carter will have a off day with the boot and beale, O’connor and cooper will cause havoc at the back, Nz will have to play like lomu on steroids to win this game! Believe it my “friendly with sheep” friends! Hehe

ABs should win by 15+ unless

1) DC still searching for his kicking boots and/or
2) Aussies got an early advantage.

All Blacks to make it 17 out of last 18 tests.

The Blacks will smash the Aussies up front, Carter will have a absolute field day with time and space as opposed to Cooper who will be on the back foot all day long.
The Aussie backline will have no quality ball to run with.

All Blacks 35 Wannabies 15

The above to CRUSH Oz upfront-physicality and Mccaw/Read to do what they do best at breakdwon and link with backs.

This is not Reds vs Saders.

This is test match rugby at Eden Park with a team(NZ) that has 766 caps.

Oz only chance of winning is talented midgets in Genia,Cooper,O’Connor,Beale…..but with rubbish to no ball…be very hard.

Hate to say it but I think aussies going to win, they had physical battles and learned a lot more from playing against samoa and boks than Nz learned from cruising in 2nd gear past fiji and boks. Aussies by less than 4 points
