[QUOTE="Peat, post: 513253, member: 42330"] Yeah in hindsight I should have looked at the rankings first - it's still early here! :lol: My apologies. That said - I stand by most of it - 3 games, 3 close ones, there should have been a win. Australia have been average; their set-piece shaky, their backs not as incisive as usual, and very open to counter-attacking. But no W. If we'd like to believe that we in the North are closing, that we can be as good if not better, there needs to be at least one win there. RIght now, Wales have a level of organisation and physicality that routinely stumps us, but put them up against the SH 3 in a big game and watch their brains melt. To be brutal about it, Wales are not good enough. And if they aren't, gods knows what that makes the rest of us. I suppose we can celebrate Scotland's win... Raises some interesting questions about the Lions tour too, which should probably be discussed elsewhere. I know someone will make a thread... [/QUOTE]
