Ok chaps - whats your predictions for how much we are going to lose by today??

I say a 35 - 12 battering for the England side (i have little faith!!)

Farrell out, which IMO is a good thing. Catt in, which Im undecided about, he's been playing well but the last game I saw him play in he seemed to be crap!

Australia's game with Fiji wasnt that good. I know they put over 35 points on them, but Fiji played badley that day, (I was there!!!), and it was a full strength Aussie side. The game after this, (forget who they were playing), Australia was mediocre to say the least.

HOWEVER.....

The Aussies will be out for revenge for '03.

TBH I think it will be tighter then most peeps think. At least I hope it will! It will be pi$$ poor if the English roll over!

- 10 points

much as i dislike farrel , i dont think catt will bring anything better , maybe a bit of stabilisation . i prefer farrell on the bench !

Catt does run up some blind alleys - maybe toby flood can do something when he comes on .

i personally havent rated englands defence for some time , they cant smash anybody backwards , apart from jamie noon .

.....and Lewis Moody.....

I think the player to watch out for is Tait, maybe not this weekend but he is becoming a very adaptable player.

I think we should let them win or they will do a Mark Weber and start crying all over the place.
Bloody Colonials.

My prediction is that they will crunch Jonny W at every opportunity, he is our play maker and has obvious points scoring potential with the boot.
I think that they should give Maskey a go, don't think he is the quickest thinker out there but he is young and hungrey for it.

Prediction 21-18 to the Oz this time I'm afraid

ETA I meant Paul Sackey
