Aussies don’t need a backline boost, they need a forward boost of epic proportions. Their tactic should be to get to uncontested scrums before half time!

would love to see them lose three in a row.

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-3: We need them to lose again…..It’s all about us keeping the No 2 ranking, and thereby getting the best seeding we CAN get going into the draw for the RWC 2015.
So yes, I’m saying it: Go England ****now I’m going to vomit***
