[QUOTE="shtove, post: 131758"] Aus tend to lose the head in attack - in the mid-field early on + off the base of a weak scrum - and that leads to cheap points. This summer it happened against Wales, and in the 2nd SA match and both AB matches. Wales can't do much in the scrum, so midfield is where they can best harry the Wallabies. But do they use the twinkle-toes of Hook/Henderson at centre, or the meathead Shanklin? Hmmm. And Larkham doesn't look too clever. People say he's deceptively slow, but I think he's just slow. Could get a bit panicky with Popham, Charvis and Williams snorting down his neck. And Gregan isn't captain, so they're still banking on a shakey Giteau at #9. Milennium will be red hot for this match. But I expect Aus to take it, with Latham slicing through. And stick with Jones at 10 - all that experience + you have to have faith. [/QUOTE]
