[QUOTE="Guilty, post: 668705, member: 71378"] A couple of have raised the point that the All Blacks usually start slow so it may actually be an advantage to play them first. Now that may or may not be true but my thinking is this. Over the past decade, the Wallabies have often lost both opening matches in the TN/RC to NZ, sometimes winning one of the tests. They then have to turn around and play SA/ARG after being beaten which has to hurt morale and confidence. I would like to see them having a good chance of winning both owning tests and then getting a crack at NZ. The results might be different that way however I don't really know which is why I asked the question! [/QUOTE]
