[QUOTE="Nubiwan, post: 806485, member: 43441"] a few comments on here above predicting the oz chances against the abs, and to be honest, I often go into a bledisloe (sp?) series thinking the abs will wash them out. More often than not, the Australians surprise, at least winning a game and keeping the outcomes tight. Going from memory here, if not statistically accurate. It occurs to me that the Australian sides of the recent past 10-15 years or so, have taken the field believing they can beat the abs, and more often than say England, they have done. It's this belief that separates them from England, who have typically approached abs games in damage limitation mode, at best. Perhaps not in recent years, but no one can convince me English teams expect to beat the abs. [/QUOTE]
