If England don't beat the Aussies by a significant margin when the two sides clash at Twickenham in three weeks' time, then Heaven help Maestro Martin Johnson and his merry men.

Seriously. I can't remember a period in the last decade when Australia have looked so discombobulated.

This is exactly what I want to hear from the NH.

Ditto, I love it when other nations start bagging the Wallabies as they usually respond.

I think someone should point them in the direction of here http://www.irb.com/rankings/full.html

A significant margin. What is that for the soap dodgers - 2 drop goals ?

Hmm, the rest of his article is fairly accurate, that was just the sensationalist Stephen Jones-esque eyeball grabber. I think he's ignoring the elephant in the room - England aren't significant either anymore. The Welsh and the Irish are the teams we'd be sweating.

Yeah, the article is fairly accurate apart from the bit about "searching for a scrum-half who can pass and run. "

We have that.

LOL! :lmao:

It is amusing that you lose to SA and NZ, and then the NH pundits think we are crap and will be easy beats.

They just don't get that they aren't SA and NZ.

I fear Wales and Ireland though.

They will be much better than the rabble we played on the weekend. Ireland, thankfully, haven't played for a while.

Agreed, Stupid bloody Growden is already writing about Grand Slam after one win against the hapless poms our toughest test is this weekend.

If we beat the Irish which is going to be a huge task then I'll be confident of a grand slam even though the Welsh are very tough at home.

Do you guys seriously think the Irish are going to give us a bigger problem? I'm worried about Wales more than anything.

I hear Ireland did alright in last year's 6N.

 

[Gagger]

I think we've forgotten that there were a couple of pretty wobbly performances in there from Ireland.
Overall the 6Ns wasn't a belter last year.

It depends on the weather ROG could kill us if the ground is a bog with their aggressive lineout
