[QUOTE="shtove, post: 291537"] Good post, Macado - but you left out Italy. Agree with most of it. England are asleep, but I reckon Johnson just wants to get the gearbox fixed - after that it's anyone's guess if he can deliver power to the wheels. Is he looking to play a Saffer style game? If so, he may be too late because the Saffers are beginning to spread it wide. They played well against Ireland in the first half - did the grind, but released the ball out wide a few times just when it was needed to expose big defensive gaps. I expect they'll develop on that, but England have the potential to catch up. So my guess is England and SA for 2011, playing heavy duty up front and relying on an experienced outhalf (who could that be, I wonder?) to release huge overlaps. p.s. I think you're spot on about Aus - favourite team at the moment. They have a good rhythm and quality in every part of the game. [/QUOTE]
