The local radio station up here has morphed this article to say that 'Michael Cheika says he has lost faith in his finishers' and then goes on to quote parts of the article. Maybe he has, but I'm pretty sure he hasn't said it!
It's 13 currently.
After losing to us on 3 October 2015 they beat Uruguay at the RWC, 5x 6N, 1x warmup test in May against Wales, 3x Australia in June, 3x November tests vs SA, Fiji, Argentina.

Cyprus holds the world record test rugby winning streak.
Even if the Soap Dodgers get to 20, which they may, there is another 5 to go to match Test Rugby powerhouse for the World Record.

"The Scottish Rugby Union announced it was challenging the punishments handed to the hooker Ford and the lock Gray for dumping Samoa’s Jack Lam on his head with an illegal two-man tip tackle during the 36-33 win. But in a subsequent statement, Scotland said they are set to appeal only against the length of the suspensions and not the finding of guilt itself."

I'll conceded that they appear not to have pleaded guilty BUT stand by saying the appeal was as to the sentence, not the conviction, so to speak. Anyways, Mumm's still a very, very, VERY lucky man IMO.

all blacks didn't beat England in thier winning streak. In fact they Beat some pretty average teams such a as Namibia and Georgia not sure you can call it first tier rugby. All Blacks are a great team no doubt but facts is always interesting.

Our attack is better now compared to the 3 tests we played in June but our attack isn't the problem, our problem is our defence.
We still scored a stack of Tries in Brisbane and Sydney only in Melbourne our attack went AWOL. Our defence is the problem we've let in 3 tries per game in our last 3 matches and some very soft tries.
For all the penalties we gave away last week (13) I only recall 1 pilfer from Pocock in the whole match so Chek may as well play Fardy and give away another 13 penalties because when Pocock and Fardy play together I reckon we'll be good for 4-5 pilfers over 80 minutes.
I think we'll win and I'm picking Folau to be the difference I think this is the week our backs hold that last pass and stop butchering chances.

Really hate amateur reporting.. an article on espn.com.au.
"giant Wallabies second rower Rob Simmons"...when he is one of our smallest.
"the Queensland Red believes he's made huge improvements during this tour and embracing the new responsibility of calling the line-out."......new responsibility?
Nothing new about it..he just wasn't good enough around the park so they had to give his key role to a rookie.

Too true Rugrat, also the All Blacks got to meet Wallabies and South Africa a few times, so I suspect they get a slightly easier time of it than England who are playing probably harder teams.
And in all seriousness I suspect the 6N maybe a bit harder to win than the RC these days.

That probably depends whether you are from New Zealand or one of the other 3 countries in the RC!

I dont think so. You have to beat the current world champion to be the best.

Expecting less keyboard abuse when the starting side is named, hopefully today but maybe tomorrow.
Cheika will probably want to keep Eddie on his toes and name it at the last possible moment
