More pain for the North

Saturday , June 26


New Zealand vs Wales 8.30

Australia vs Ireland 11:00

South Africa vs Italy 14:00

Argentina vs France 19:45

First up we have Wales against the All Blacks. The AB’s have a few injury enforced changes, and I’m surprised to see Dan Carter lining up, surely this would have been and ideal opportunity to test out Aaron Cruden, as it’s the one position New Zealand have no depth in. The AB’s should sleep walk through this, their only enemy is over confidence.


Australia vs Ireland – bring it on! Both teams have strengths and weaknesses in the same positions, and want to bounce back after defeats. I’d love to see a bit of Irish mongrel come out, but at the end of a long and pretty difficult season, I can see the boys in Green tiring at the end and the Aussies shading it.


South Africa and Italy should be more of the same again as last week, but it’s good to see some fringe players getting a run for the Boks, and a should be a good work out for the pack.

Argentina and France will close it out, and after two losses on the trot it should be three in a row for the Pumas
