| Im not so sure. Wallas backs havent been put under pressure yet and have had 3 relatively easy games. On the other hand, France forwards should dominate both the breakdown and the scrum. Giteau nonetheless will be the difference which is where the ABs is lacking. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Bish, <<In sayings that I also think the ABs will wipe the Italians by more then what the Wallies could Manage.>> I think you are right. On paper shouldn't be, but it will be. AB by 30+ |

| Pretty much as expected. Picked on form and experience. Only question mark might be the selection of both Pokock and Waugh on the bench. But then I figure the way the frogs ran the NZ forwards around in the first game and given Sydney will be a dry track, its probably a very smart move by Deans. Like i said previously too many injuries, to badly bashed and up against a very structured defence, I cant see the frogs winning. Oz by 14. 15-Adam Ashley-Cooper, 14-Lachie Turner, 13-Stirling Mortlock (captain), 12-Berrick Barnes, 11-Drew Mitchell, 10-Matt Giteau, 9-Luke Burgess, 8-Richard Brown, 7-George Smith, 6-Dean Mumm, 5-Nathan Sharpe, 4-James Horwill, 3-Al Baxter, 2-Stephen Moore, 1-Benn Robinson. Replacements: 16-Tatafu Polota-Nau, 17-Ben Alexander, 18-Phil Waugh, 19-David Po *** , 20-Josh Valentine, 21-Ryan Cross, 22-James O'Connor. |

| I agree and think that the Aussies will give the French and hiding to nothing. I hope so anyway. Go Wallaby's |

| I think people will question if this is the same French team that so valiantly fought the ABs. Wallabies to run away with it. In sayings that I also think the ABs will wipe the Italians by more then what the Wallies could Manage. SH to Dominate this weekend Bish |

| Tend to agree Ado, but will never underestimate any French team. They have some rugged runs on the board from NZ, where NO team is easy to beat. 5 players out should give Wallas an edge, which is disappointing because a full-strength test is what they need ahead of the 3N. |

| 5 of the Frogs have gone home injured Kip. Also Wallas have put on over 110 ten points and had their line crossed twice in 240 minutes of rugby. Also they put on 55 points against a baabaa's side that caned your precious England. I reckon they're a big chance to roll France by 15 plus. |

| I disagree Kiwimex The fantastic series win in NZ (France win the series as it was a draw) will mean France will be sky high. Wallabies are unproven this year and might well struggle. Furthermore, I will always support the NH over a SH team. I am definitely bias that way. kip |

| My money is the WAL. I think they are a better team and they are hard to beat at home. I can't see the French putting three good games together in a row. Furthermore, I will always support the WAL over a NH team. I am definitely bias that way. Go Wallabies BLessings Mel |

| Not wrong there jordy, the French played really well and I find it hard to beleive that a young Wallabie team can over come there brute strength upfront and in the backs?? If the French bring there game on saturday then I can see a defeat for the men in Gold. Both Aus & NZ look weak atm with the rebuiding stages going on, the Bok are the only threat to both our nations and if they end up beating the Lions in there tests with no major injuries then we are F#$%ked ( so to speak ) :) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This shapes as being a great game. It could go either way.It depends on which French team turns up on the night. If they play like they have in there last two games against the Allblacks France will beat the wallabies. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Wallabies will beat the French and I reckon they will do it well. They are a good 10-15 points better than the All Blacks at present | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| France will be a good test for Wallabies. I think the home team has the edge. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yeah, can't wait...it's gonna be a testy one....but i think the Wallabies might just have an edge....just!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Wallabies are playing running game which alot of teams are not doing in current tatical situation,which gives them the added advantage.Plus the young promising players add spice to the game. Its like olden days Wallabies...France will have to work twice as hard to beat Australians at home,in sydney. |

| I dont think the Wallabies are going to have such an easy time with France like they did with Italy. If the French play rugby like they have been for the past 2weeks, then I can see a very big upset for the Wallabies. France have had 2 great hit outs with the All Blacks and looks like a team that has been playing for a long time.I dont think Australia has the experience to beat such a great team like the French. All Blacks beat them lastnight, but what a struggle it was for the men in black and to win by only 4 points, good luck Wallabies :) |
