<p>The actual stats at ANZ Stadium, are 7 wins, 7 losses, 1 draw. Hardly overwhelming, but its the only ground in the world where the ABs don't have a winning percentage... apparently.</p>

<p>No, they have a winning record there. They beat Wales and France there in the 2003 RWC.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you go a little further into the city though their record at the SFS is 2-4. Their record at the MCG is 1-2. Hong Kong, of which Australia had a hand is 1-1, and the old Kings' Park in Durban was 3-3.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But of serious venues where they are likely to play again in the near future Ellis Park is the only one with a record of 7-9 overall - although positive since the advent of neutral refereeing.</p> -

<p>I'm with you mate. The only reason i remember it's on is this thread. Between the Olympics, and club semi this weekend, i would be surprised if i watched the whole game. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Still, be nice to win</p>

<p>I'm the complete opposite, don't give two farts about the Olympics and only had the Warriors and the other bogans to watch this weekend so I'm hanging out for this match.</p> -

<p>Against the Wallabies, obviously... Unless Wales and France get a shot at the Bledisloe or TRC now? :)</p> -

I wouldn't say it is obvious when you are talking about a losing record at a ground. Although if you want to eliminate those two RWC games chuck out the semi final too as it wasn't for the Bledisloe or TRC/3N either. Anyway you slice it they have losing records at other grounds and not matter what filter you put on it Ellis Park is a venue where they actually have a losing record. -

I'll be surprised if I'm awake at 10pm. It'll be the second day of a two-day bender in Auckland, including going to the Ellerslie races on Saturday.</p></blockquote>

<p>D-Mac, step on up!</p> -
With the retirements of Nonu and smith , we have lost Sbw , ngatai and now Moala <br><br>
One more injury and it's starting to look grim -

<p>I can make that statement by saying the word "seems" as a qualifier and having memories of Barrett causing all sorts of mayhem against SA teams, whilst not a huge amount against Aus. I never said Barrett is good or bad against them.</p>
</div>
</blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p>Ok. I think once Barrett starts more against Aus I think we will see more of that mayhem he causes against SA.</p> -

<p>is it sad that i was hoping for fekitoa to get injured instead of moala.. </p>

<p> </p>
<p>hopefully in the time off between the Super season and now, they've been working with Fekitoa, a lot!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He has the physical attributes, just needs to get his head right.</p>
