I'm hoping that it will be a competitive test series and it is starting to look that way.

I didn't watch the All Black beating the B & I Lions this morning but did manage to go and watch the Boks beating France 35-12.

Well done to the B & I Lions on drawing the test series against the All Blacks.

South Africa on the other hand, although having a youngish side, should have had too much cohesion for the Babaa's. Alas that wasn't the case but it was an exciting game to watch.

Didn't realize there were other Rugby fans on this board. My wife and I were at this game, and Ireland really played an incredible match. Outstanding defense and their fullback and centers, I thought, were stars. Great to see a Rugby match in the US draw that man people!

I watched the Wales v Australia test top draw fantastic game played at 100 Mph, quite shocked when I saw Ireland v South African score, I'm going to tip England to win all their tests against Australia New Zealand and South Africa.

I watched most of the SA vs Ireland game and without taking anything away from the Irish who played extremely well, SA were terrible.

I can't see SA winning any of their test matches on this tour.

They definitely need a change of coaching personnel.

I agree with you Tony the 4 home nations are looking strong at the moment I think Wales will turn over South Africa, and England are looking a handful I tip them to beat the All Blacks Australia and South Africa.

So it's you and me this weekend Jamie.

Going to be an interesting game which I think Wales will narrowly shade it.

Seems I was right. Should have put money on it.

Well done to Wales.

In the other Rugby code we've just beaten England to take the RL world cup
