[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 760574, member: 39190"] Yes, just everything points at Wales being an easier match up relative to Aussie (though not easy in and of itself); -Our history (recent and historical) against both teams, -Our history against both teams at RWCs specifically -The fact Aussie beat Wales -The fact that Aussie are higher ranked -The fact that recently Aus dealt with England rather easily in comparison with the Wales-England game and if anyone our game is 'England-like' -Aus are generally considered on form and fit with momentum and continuity while Wales despite awesome efforts aren't in as great a position (though siege mentality does count for a lot!) Is it really arrogance to say Aus > Wales ATM? I could say Aus > SA in the same breath. Of course that doesn't mean Wales can't beat SA and SA can't beat Aus in a once-off and I don't think any South African has said that. [/QUOTE]
