Happy to get away with a win.
That AB selection made me very nervous pre match. Scotland have beaten England home and away the past 2 seasons and nearly pipped Ireland as well. Dangerous side.
Expecting a big shift next week vs England from the first XV.

Enjoyed the last episode. Totally infatuated with Galadriel. I'm not a boob man ... I get besotted with well defined athletic calf muscle ... and eyes. Galadriels eyes are mind blowing.

Re: All Blacks vs Wallabies @Melbourne (15th September) & Auckland (Saturday 24th)
Quite a special championship title for the ABs. By far the hardest draw having to play the World Champions away twice. Gutsy effort to come through with the silverware.

Wobblies have the makings of a solid team and should not be underestimated. I’d like to see the ABs 8 forwards and keep it tight in the first 40. Hide the ball up the jumper and just grind with RM controlling field position. Then if they have earned the right ... send it wide. Rarely have an AB team...

As always with these tier 1 test matches it’s the tight 5 and battle at the breakdown that will determine the outcome. All Blacks have the edge at 9 and 10 and in the tights 5. Wallabies back row is very good but they will have to bring their “A” tackling game. Hooper is a very fine 7 and ball carri...
