Roger's Autumn Predictions.

Argentina - Wales by 5-10
Samoa - Wales by 20+
New Zealand - NZ by 20+
Australia - Australia by 5-10

No surprises. 4th in Six Nations 2013.

Seems to me Autumn and winter predictions to me Roger. Global warming hasn't made Wales the new Mediterranean just yet.

Why the pessimism for the 6N?

Grandslams are a wonderful wonderful thing, but historically Wales do not follow up success with anything of substance.

Our most consistent run of form would be finishing 3rd in RWC 87 and then a triple crown (almost slam) in 88.

Turn one of your defeats by Australia or NZ into a victory and I think you'd have a great chance of going great again in the 2013 6N. Tough ask but a huge boost in confidence and, therefore, performance is the reward.

Argentina - Wales by 12
Samoa - Wales by 15
New Zealand - Wales by 5
Australia - Wales by 4

Another GS is 2013 with France away being the key game

My prediction is that we'll lose narrowly to the Wallabies and the All Blacks. Our game under Gatland (and thus Howley) is a cautious, containing game: we look to stay in touch with our opponents, rather than really looking to take the game to them. It's not attractive rugby.
