[QUOTE="The Jones Boy, post: 609627, member: 70721"] Settle down Cymra, I only said Wales need to harden up, and I meant it, because they have such a God awful bunch of results against the big 3 SH teams and yet such a massive basket full of talent. What is going on with Wales against Southern Hemisphere teams? If their pack muscles up to Aussie and denies them a chunk of possess it will be hard for Aussie but... Aussie are still crash hot at the breakdown and the ruck will require Wales to be at their vigilant best because Aussie have a potent loose forward trio and dynamite backs, they can win big games from living off scraps. No Aussie are not in good form compared to the awesome days of Eales and co. , but they still have a team that can put any country on their backside, on any given day and they must not be taken lightly. Wales need to 'front up' in the pack and dominate the set pieces. Warburton and Tipuric and Lydiate and Foletau must do the hard work at the ruck, blowing out the Aussie sniffers. Alun Wyn Jones is still a mighty tree trunk in the Welsh engine room, if he can lift for one last big performance for the year it will set the marker down for the other lads to follow. Two Giant wingers and a canny old halfback, halfpenny at the back, Wales can do this if they front up and do not doubt themselves, keep the belief for 80 minutes. It has the potential to be an awesome game. Both teams are capable of breath taking running rugby, their backlines are dripping with talent. I can't wait to watch this match and I'm a neutral. Regarding 'bigging themselves up', I don't buy that, the Welsh boys are smarter than to do that nonsense. Thats just media garbage. [/QUOTE]
