We've won 3 out of our last 9 matches, and one of those was Italy. And after the Japan match, our confidence will be at an all-time low.
We're playing Scotland in Newcastle, up near the Scottish border. That match, for all intents on purposes, will be a home game for them. If we don't lose by at least 15, I'll be very surprised.
We may sneak Samoa, but we'll no doubt leave that match with a bus full of injuries, which isn't gonna help. But it's part of the tournament and one of its beauties - squad depth. And we're in a pickle in that, if we play our B team, we'll lose easily, and if we play our A team, our best players will be injured.
Luckily, it doesn't look like Meyer knows who his A team is at the moment, so who knows who will play.
You would have to believe you can do better than the Wallabies did when they last "played Scotland in Newcastle" (NSW) [5th June 2012]!!
