Final prediction for tonight.
Poite is refereeing, he knows his shit, he will pin the Aussies off the park and Australia will be reduced to 14 man on two occasions. Predicting another penalty try, but England's backs relying on the scrum and ruck infringements to win them games (no wonder why they hated free kick sanctions). However they will not win them the game, as Australia actually provide some attacking playw. Genia will be the difference from the halves showing up the young English half back.
Crowd prediction will be 39,348. SFS anyone. Lower ticket costs, for fucks sake.
When the English once again get beaten tonight, Martin Johnson will hopefully be sacked from the England job which he was probably out of his depth from the beginning. I think a English selector should have been the furthest he'd have gotten to the English team again.
Come Monday Maul with Greg Growden, he will brutalise the Australian scrum like he actually has a clue what he's talking about, and the debate will continue for a 2nd week in a row whether Baxter and Dunning should be bought back for the Tri-Nations.
Deans will stick with his guns and the front rowers will remain the front rowers.
And then to the Ireland game..
