has to be the best foward pack you can imagine...-.-
Other than NZ, i really enjoyed watching the Georgian foward packs...without them there would be no rugby for them. SA and England in my opinion are totally equal. Its going to be those tiny crucial mistakes which can just give one of them a win.
Its going to be a great game...cant wait till sunday

For my money, the 2 most complete packs are the AB`s and the Argies. Pretty close between them, nothing really in it. Both teams have an excellent scrum, and both packs compete very well at the breakdowns. The AB pack probably has the edge in athleticism and pace, but the Argies don`t have that distinct disadvantage at the back of the lineout of the AB`s.
As for the rest, England`s got a massive scrum, a very good lineout and great commitment in terms of cleaning out at the rucks and shifting contact points, but miss out in terms of pace around the park. The Boks have certainly got the pace, the best offensive lineout in the business, and plenty of grunt at the breakdowns, but their scrum has gone backwards this year. The French pack has been hot and cold really, massive for the better part, but got completely outmuscled by the AB`s. Winning only 27% possession certainly says something about them. And the Argies cerainly beat them to the breakdowns too.
Of the so-called "minnows", Georgia was certainly impessive, as was Tonga.
