[QUOTE="timmyhoran, post: 144912"] Any of those posters who think Australia is going to steamroll Wales in Cardiff is kidding themselves. Even if Larkham does play it will be a close game. Australia's record away from home against major nations has been woeful over the last 5 years. Saying that I fully expect Australia to win. I think our scrum will hold up fine. They did alright against both the Kiwi and SA scrums in the 3N which are both superior to Wlaes. Our lineout is second only to SA in the world and this is a area Wales have stuggled of late. I think we have an edge in the backrow with the Palu, Elsom, Smith combination. I think one area we have a clear edge is the Giteau v Parker. Hopefully Gits can light up the Cardiff night. The Aussies also have the best defencive system in the world thanks to ex-leaguie and defence coach John Muggleten. I can't see any team scoring to many tries against them. Although I agree with the above poster, Morlock is not a natural goal kicker. If it comes down to goal kicking accuracy I'd want Stephen Jones in my team over Mortlock any day. Wallabies by 24 - Wales 15 (no tries). [/QUOTE]
