This Years Tours Pre-4Ns

The Return of the traditional type short Tour means the NH sides have there best chance for years to nick one or more tests.Sandwiched in the middle of the Super 15 injuries are hampering Sh to some Degree.Indications are with 3 New Coaches,and 5 Teams in rebuild mode things could be very interesting.England versus SA ,England will want to prove they have kicked on since 6Ns,SA that the new management wants a good start.Injuries apart unable to see many new Bok faces there,especially as the Coach says he is considering Overseas based players.SouthAfrica is never an easy place to tour especially at altitude and there is NO poor Bok side,as is indicated by there teams performance to date in S15.Australia host Wales perhaps the NH side who has kicked on since RWC best,OZ S15 sides seem in disarray currently,injuries causing problems.BUT S15 form is a never a guide come test time for them,Finally Ireland to NZ.THE hardest place on earth for a visiting side to win.Ireland are in major overhaul mode BUT experience says NEVER write them off they love the underdog tag.NZ are in post RWC situation several retirement/injury/ form loss problems.S15 sides doing pretty well maybe the will suffer the post RWC curse and lose alot of matches.If so there will be New Coaches come 2013,there depth of Players is a given getting it right takes time.Captain Tackles is doubtful,DC has indicated he wants to start at 10 but may not be able to kick Goals,so new blood maybe.I invite your comments?
