People pay good money for that in Amsterdam.

Mate I was just jerking your chain. You're right. The Wallabies do have it in them to lose some games this year. Us Aussies can only hope it is an on year not an off year.

Changes 'franchises'. I've never cheered another country against Australia in a sporting contest.

Why is this not a surprise?

Thew Zealand rugby team has a great record against us, but still we surprise you one or two times each year. The pleasure is the greatest when you're at your most gormlessly arrogant. Against other teams we have an excellent percentage. Good luck with your predictions. Nonetheless, if you'd...

I reckon Deans will absolutely drive them into the ground to increase their fitness. He has each year so far.
