    <p>have to be a bit of a form reversal from the many Pumas in the Jaguares....not impossible, but I'd say unlikely, they'll be playing thier first TRC on the back of a Super seaosn with a travel schedule they have never expereinced before.</p>

    The RC is shaping up as a snore fest. Would happily trade it for 3 tests vs the Poms in England. <br><br>
    Argentina nilled at home yesterday vs France, Aussie whitewashed, SA scraping past Ireland.

    <p>Well, lets beat Australia over there, for the first time in three years, before we get too cocky ...</p>

    <p>Based on what's been demonstrated this June, then the 18th win is very doable.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>It would be a shock if NZ lost IMHO.</p>

    We're always unbeatable until we lose. <br><br>

    We'll lose at least once this RC, maybe twice.

    <p>you twat Booboo, now you've gone and done it. Here's what will happen because of you starting this thread: We'll lose at least once this RC, and England will continue on their merry roll and do what we've been unable to do, get past 17. </p>
    <p>When that happens I will remind you of this ill advised thread.</p>

    It's a done deal....no one is good enough, we'll go through beyond the next RWC unbeaten, so by then even AB fans will be thinking a loss would be good, just for a change.

    Everyone knows that beating 17 without playing the ABs is like winning a RWC without playing the ABs. It doesn't really count.

    <p>Fuck that looks pretty easy/likely on paper. They'll be lauded the greatest team ever without having to even play us, genius from the (clearly) English bloke that came up with the scheduling for the next year.</p>

    The opposition has never been weaker, but our midfield could bleed tries at any moment against any TRC opposition. So I'd bet against it - but I don't have the foggiest who will beat us. Certainly not Aussie away, we will put at least 40 on them like England.

    <p>This year's slam was "easier" for England because while they only had two home games out of five, the home games were against their chief rivals Wales and Ireland. Every other year the schedule reverses, so in 2017 they play in Cardiff and Dublin. Makes for a much more deserved slam if they do it.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Great series win over Aussie though. It was the ultimate no-win situation for an ABs fan, but I got myself up to support England. That, plus I enjoy seeing teams who play dumb rugby getting beaten. The main positive was that the loser got swept and gets a pounding from the fans and media. Cheika's press conference face looked like a bulldog chewing a wasp.</p>

    <p>correct, and if they both burn like normal humans, we will be big enough to admit we were wrong and they weren't witches after all!</p>

    I'd almost be happy with that Mike and 6 months ago I'd have bitten your hand off for it.

    I'm invoking the ancient law of crossing my fingers behind my back as I type, so I cannot tempt fate, but the final Eng / Ire game already looks like a grand slam decider to me.<br><br>
    Right I can stop typing one handed now.<br><br>
    When the hell are NZ / Eng finally scheduled to play? Must admit its very kind of you guys to give us at least a year to get up to speed 🙂
