hmm if the series was on a level playing field i would give wales no chance at all but the wallabies havent come together yet this year and there will be some doubt as to the makeup of the team i mean we have no idea who is going to be available and who isnt or if deans is going to pick his best side. i think there will be a lot of experimenting going and some new young stars eg liam gill or michael hooper. should be brilliant though.

atg77 -- haha good one. why dont you put some money on scotland then? they will be paying huge, and instead of giving the money away to the tab why dont you just give it to me instead?

RugbyLeRoux -- looking at the super 15 it would be easy to assume a wales victory? is that a typo?

melkdave -- and congrats youre the biggest idiot out of the lot. stupidest comment i have ever read

Australia has the players to make for a very strong Wallaby side, assuming Dingo Deans selects them. After the world cup, I cant say I am too confident he will get the mix right.

Not really surprised Deans is wary of Wales ,the lack of a big pool of quality players in Australia is a worry given just how many are injured ect atm .I think his best option for a FH atm is K.Beale and thats not his primary position ,apart from Pocock the backrow options look very ordinary still have to develop a class frontrow and the centre options arnt much better imo .Going to be a very tricky series for Australia imo.Also i echo atg77s comment dont write off Scotland either they could surprise alot of people

Scotland are coming without three of their good men due to injuries and were wooden spooners in the SixN. Australia won a bronze at the RWC and have an excellent bunch of players to make up their A side which will include three or 4 members of the Wallabies. The Scots will be outpaced on the hard, fast ground at Newcastle. Wales will be tough. Great front row, good engine room plus George North - formidable. But three tests in three weeks is a big ask for any touring team, specially as the first test is at Brisbane, home ground for many of the Reds-stacked Wallabies.

the aussies are going to be a tough nut to crack I reckon. Looking at the super 15 it might be easy to assume a Wales victory but they have a world class players at hooker, the back row are immense and game breakers in the back line all over the place. A genia/beale half back pairing could be ferocious! Looking forward to seeing 3 open exciting tests, think it'll be the most closely contested of the june internationals

I am old enough to remember when we beat Oz frequently, in fact I remember when the great Pontypridd side only lost to them by 3 points was it? This Welsh side are more than capable of getting us back on track

Just a quick reminder Robbie, you've got to play Scotland before that... a team so desperate for a win they will do almost anything to get it. It might also be interesting to note that Scotland under Andy Robinson have 2/3 win record against the big three SH teams... including a win over a full strength Wallabies.

With Australia likely to be understrength due to midweek scheduling of the game, I really fancy Scotland's chances.

As an England supporter, come on Wales!!!!!! Hampered slightly perhaps by the loss of J.Davies but it will be excellent if Wales can make the next step up and beat a SH team in their own back yard.

Wales are looking hot! but we havnt seen the wallabies this year.. Are we going to see Aus do a 'NZ' where they lose at the WC and then come out firing the next year?? ...
