[QUOTE="Aspry, post: 611214, member: 70242"] Well I don't think the November test are that important to define how teams will perform in the upcoming Six Nations, and specially in the case of Wales cause, as you already may know, they tend to suck when it comes to Autumn test but the next year they're simply on fire. Look the 2012 EOYT of Wales: Lost 12- 26 to Argentina Lost 19- 26 to Samoa Lost 10- 33 to NZ Lost 12- 14 to Aus Really crappy way to end the year for them, including two unexpected defeats... Now, who would it thought that they were going to win the next Six Nations?? I am sure that not many people had faith in them. Also, remember that this year Wales were playing without Jonathan Davies and Adam Jones during almost all the series.. and also I think that Alex Cuthbert only played vs Australia. I know that basically all the teams suffers from injuries, but those were three big losses for Wales. I think that the full strenght starting XV of Wales is the best team that one Europe nation can offer right now. Yes they usually struggle a lot to replace one player, but when they got their full squad available and in form, they simply are the best team around. That's why I think they're the team to beat, once again. [/QUOTE]
