Ill take that on a spread bet from you
Aussie will very likely win but, it will be a 15-20 point margin.

What sort of king are you ?

Conditions will be a big factor for the SL lads I reckon. A few looked like they were blowing towards the end of that CAS game, even though they spent half the time waiting for conversions and kick offs.

Australia 24 England 10

England could really do with scoring first and going in at half-time about 8pts up. If the Aussies go a couple of tries up early, it's game over I fear...

Yeah, a niggly ill-disciplined game suits us as well IMO. When you look at the wins over them in 2001, 2004, and particularly 2006, we seemed to rile them and put them off their game.
