Some really juicy ones taking place this month.

Be interested to hear folks thoughts on as to whether Wales can actually turn over a Southern Hemisphere team this time. It's still a subject of frustration for me as I believe they could be genuine World Cup contenders in 2015. I honestly thought the Wales under-achieving thread earlier was about them.

A friend of mine thinks that Scotland v South Africa could spring a surprise and England could beat New Zealand again. I disagree with both. What do people think ?

I agree with you. Wales are decent and could beat SA. No chance for England or Scotland in those two matches you mention.

I think the All Blacks game'll be tight, but ultimately they'll win.

Scotland have absolutely no chance.

I'm looking forward to seeing coverage of the Argentina game. There's a lot to admire in them bar a strong pack.

Wales need a decent No 10. It's a massive weakness in the side.

This, I believe is holding us back from beating the Southern Hemisphere teams.

Priestland was at fault for the killer try
