[QUOTE="SomeOke, post: 603640, member: 59145"] Not to mention the 2011 encounter was "technically" a Wales win, didn't one of the penalties go over and was not counted? It ended up hurting us a lot more thanks to Ireland beating Aus but still. Should be close, I can't help but feel HM is taking a step back in terms of development. I think he's letting his fear of losing knee-cap the promising new talent that has been coming through, on the other hand perhaps winning momentum is more important. Also the squad hasn't actually been announced so I may be premature in this viewpoint. Even more so than in the SH if our pack dominates (no easy task mind you) I feel we should win comfortably, unlike Aus or NZ where in some ways the creativity of their backs outmatches us, this will all come down to forwards. I'm not saying the saffer back line is better, just that I don't feel we are outmatched. [/QUOTE]
