Scotland and Wales now realistic chances in next weeks tests.

First topic message reminder :

I rate the chances of Scotland and Wales winning next weeks. My reasons are:
1: The super XV plays in the weekend. The wallabies play Scotland and wales on the following Tuesday and Saturday. The Australians will by nature have to mix and match their teams. The likelyhood is that both sides they put out will be understrength.
2: The injury toll is mounting. The latest losses to the squad are Horwell and Beale. There are some players coming back (e.g. Cooper), but some are short of game time.

The squad is:
Ben Alexander, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Berrick Barnes, Quade Cooper, Dave Dennis, Kane Douglas, Anthony Faingaa, Saia Faingaa, Bernard Foley, Will Genia, Michael Harris, Scott Higginbotham, Michael Hooper, Rob Horne, Digby Ioane, Sekope Kepu, Salesi Ma'afu, Pat McCabe, Ben McCalman, Jesse Mogg, Stephen Moore, Luke Morahan, Cadeyrn Neville, Dan Palmer, Wycliff Palu, Nick Phipps, David Pocock, Tatafu Polota-Nau, Hugh Pyle, Benn Robinson, Nathan Sharpe, Dominic Shipperley, Rob Simmons, James Slipper, Sitaleki Timani, Joseph Tomane, Cooper Vuna, Nic White.

Good to see a few kiwis in there.

What about P divvy? he was a love to hate character , who entertained the masses, got us a 3 game whitewash over the all blacks,lions series , made some dodgy decisions, peed off Biltong and seemed like a generally nice guy? So what about p divvy are you referring to?

Hey!

I don't hate him, I just don't think he was a great coach.

A people person. Is that another name for skizophrenic?

I'll also be a people person if you pay me a big wage and let me tour with my favourite team for 4 years.

Hell I'll be the best ambassador this country has ever seen.

I really hope the Scottish havent been caught out by an after dinner kick off because when Samoa did that to Wales we had players collapsing and being sick from heat exaustion, it was so bad Neil Jenkins recieved the ball and actually run towards his own goal posts because he wasnt sure which way to go!

I'm hopeful Australia pick their full side against Scotland but in truth I expect their A side for Scotland and their main players against Wales. Though if Australia do it the other way around and Wales win the first one it might generate some interest in the series. After Australia beating Wales in their last 2 games you wonder if the Australians rate the Welsh team.

It's 2012.

Yup the sun is still as hot in Samoa as it was all those years ago, they hit just as hard as they did in those days too, most of their players are professional all over the world, Wales only just scrapped past them in the world cup, and they only had 3 days rest. While Scotland are a lot worse than they were in 1994! Whistle

Alan, I think Tatties point was that players are now professional and perhaps better equipped fitness-wise to deal with heat etc. anyway, things are cooler now in the Pacific. I was there over Xmas and new year a few years ago and even the locals struggled. However, the temperature drops in March so it will be relatively cool.
You are quite right about how hard they hit, though!

That's aggressive not assertive, it's a common mistake made by many. Tuilagi often confuses them thumbsup
