[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 601525, member: 57076"] shyt, it's almost there isn't it ?!! The Autumn tests !!! :D I don't know what this is going to be like, though...from the AB's perspective I mean. Are they going to use this match and instrumentalize it as a means to intimidate an eagerly watching Europe, and put a triple digit score on Japan ? Are they going to just jog through the match and give the Nippon crowd a little showtime, but only just a little and take the easy victory ? Is this merely a way for the Blacks to "practice" and prepare for the trip to Europe, as they've added Carter and McCaw in apparently so they won't rust out ? Not sure what to expect from this...but clearly in the end, it's basically *formality*. This isn't really an Autumn test per se. But hey, the Al-Mighty are playing it, so this is to hoping we'll see some pretty tries, as always, but that the Japanese will be full strength and show us a thing or two we couldn't have seen coming.
