Can you define "years to come" 8 years, 20, 100 ?

Aus had the youngest team in the RWC, and are improving each game, so the only way they can go is up in the rankings!!! We'll see how NZ go when all the oldies retire. I predict they will slip down these coming year/s !!

They didn't have a problem last year when they won the Tri Nations, even in the RWC semi V NZ the scrum did well.

No matter how Austrakia spin it ,the fact is the ABs frontrow is way better than the wallabies at the scrummage and even in the loose 99 out of a 100 times.I wonder just how many times the wallaby frontrow will collapse the scrum this weekend ,and eat dirt ,when put under pressure.Frontrow still a major problem for Australia after 12 years shameful imho.Also O;Neil scrapping the fleadling ozzie leauge /comp means the lack of talant is now starting to effect other positions ,as interested/ potential players cant get a game and delvelop if not S15 leval ,a huge mistake by the ARU .Which will eventually cost them very dear as they slip down the IRB rankings in years to come.

he must have faced them so many times over the years in Super rugby as well as tests; but this is the 'dead' week pre-test when we'll get lots of player headlines . . . I'm sure Mealamu and Hore do not under-respect him, a good competitor and if the rest of Waratahs had shown his attitude maybe they would've won a few more.
