Have any of you folks been following the Autumn Test Matches?

Care to share some of your views, impressions for what has gone on so far and predictions for what is coming up?

Looking forward to having lots of feedback when I wake up next morning. Anything rugby in the morning is like a religious experience...

Crouch, touch... engage!

Have to say,the England Australia game was the best international I've seen in ages.

Wish I could agree :rolleyes:

Good game, wicked pace!

With a bit more control of the ball Ireland would have held the AB's to a much closer score.

Starting to look good for the RWC next year... :rolleyes:

There hasn't really been a great game - read epic - in the autumn series so far, where two teams came out and played their best rugby against each other.

Ireland vs ABs was probably the prettiest to watch because skill levels were pretty good on both sides and both teams ran at each other but defended well also. But then it was quite clear from half time (eg stat: Ire 90 tackles to AB 30, roughly) which team was going to pull away with it so there wasn't much suspense involved.

So highlights so far are probably the real upsets: Scotland and Munster. And how well Fiji Samoa are doing with (as usual) far from their 1st XV on the pitch. The 6 nations shaping up to be interesting, with ireland and england (scotland?) showing they might be able to offer a challenge to the french this time...
