[QUOTE="BokMagic, post: 105029"] And added to that, the World Cup is only in Nov, and it`s in the Northern Hemisphere- you Aussies have this annoying little habit of winning all the World Cups over on THAT side of the equator anyway, so I wouldn`t start worrying too much yet. Also, you guys have this other little trick perfected- playing really shite the year before a RWC, heck even during the RWC year, and then flying into fine form when it matters most- during the RWC quarters/semi`s/final. It`s a bit of an Aussie tradition, and very annoying for the rest of us. But I can really sympathise- last year, we had the entire 1st-choice Bok back row, half of our second row and a couple of props out injured- also our 1st-choice flyhalf, centre-pairing and 2 wingers, all at once- that`s 11 out of the starting XV- and it resulted in the small matter of 49-0 etc. [/QUOTE]
