It's early doors but I like what Stuart Lancaster Graham Roundtree and Andy Farrell are building with Englad. (can you get odds this far out for the next world cup)

I'm sure I can have a bet each way lived in the UK for 9 years wife and kids are English I was born here

That Wallabies v Scotland game in Newcastle doesn't count. That was our b grade team. Our a grade team would have put 30 on the Scots with the wind at their backs in the second half.

what's scary is that there is such a big gap between our A & B teams...

The same is true for every team. Even the All Blacks second team would be significantly worse then their first.

Great point. It bears remembering that last years ABs were one of the great NZ teams and apart from fly half had their A team available.

We OTOH had an annus horribilus but still measured up third. A bee's dick behind ZA. The depth of international experience gained should hold us in good stead going forward.

Ha-ha!... It's not April fools day yet!... Sharpe, genia, hiiginbottom, pocock,Moore, ioane, barnes,all started if thats you b team, i cant wait to see your a team! the wallabies were awarded caps for the game, I'm sure the players took it seriously... The last two times these teams have met the outcomes been the same......

No, but between now and then perhaps you'd like some light reading.

Scotland doesn't have many wins to crow about these days and given the belting they copped from the Poms it's no surprise they are still crowing about that game last year

When your fighting it out with Italy to avoid being the worst side in the 6N that would be another reason to cling desperately to previous glories

James Slipper, Dan Palmer, Sitaleki Timani, Dave Dennis, Berrick Barnes, Mike Harris, Anthony Faingaa, Joseph Tomane and Luke Morahan would all not start in a Wallabies best 15. Most of them wouldn't make the 22.

David Pocock was returning from injury lay off. Nathan Sharpe had a niggling injury. I'd wager after a long season a few of the other guys were far from their best shape. It was a B+ team at best.

Italy have gotten over the top of France
