Yeah I can understand the apprehension, it occured to me (and everyone else it seems) that we first started putting our stamp on the game when your sides superior skills where really showing. And from there I figure they just decided to not even let you guys get into the game in the first place by hitting some bodies early on.

The wheels have turned now though!
The Aussies are alot better technically & walked over us last time round, so i dont think things will be any different next time - if there is one!
The Rules totally favour the Aussies though. We're not allowed to tackle - its a yellow or sending off & we dont play Marks. Most of your lads will have played Rugby - most of ours wont have gone anywhere near it. Your professional & have professional coaches - we have a magic sponge & some old bloke showing videos of Michael Collins to get the boys motivated!
