The good thing to come out of the 4 matches was some of our usual replacements getting starts and performing superbly... nice knowing once we get something resembling our first choice XV that players like Marler, Wilson, Attwood etc can come on and perform at the highest level... just need a bit of luck on the injury front and I'll don't think we will be too far off

Curious sequence of matches to be honest. Coming into it I had the Saffas on an upward trajectory and probably favorites for the WC, but they've stuttered badly and have come out of this worst. England have fared little better and seem to have regressed. The AB's have come out of it well. Wales and Australia, Ireland and England looking much of a muchness.
Less than a year ago the AB's and Saffas looked a stratosphere above everyone else. Now it looks quite open at the WC assuming the AB's underperform. If they don't, then only one winner on the basis of the autumn internationals.

The big question to me is whether or not, next year, the All Blacks can do the two things that England, Australia and South Africa have done.

Too true NS. You might have noticed (or not!) but we're a long way from our peak as well.
Still, England, once again managed to only just lose to NZ and SA and barely beat Aussie and Samoa.
Good haul that.

NS,
But when the ABs leave without the World Cup next summer, they will still have all them IRB awards to soothe their insecurities.
A bit like a crying Gwyneth Palthrow.
Looking forward to...."and the 2015 winner of the best pre-match dance routine goes to ....
The ABs !! "

You don't get anything for just losing either NS? Just plenty to think about to improve?

Terrific game that... England's pack was immense... reckon Brad Barrett is on par with Chuck Norris as the world's toughest man... tackle on Quade Cooper was something else!!

They obviously haven't been watching England's games this Autumn. We've gotten worse with each game,
.... and still only lost by 3 points to the Boks and the AB's

The media here in Australia are talking down the Wallabies chances of winning today.
They obviously haven't been watching England's games this Autumn. We've gotten worse with each game, whilst Australia have narrowly lost two games to decent sides, and won the other one.
I realise our losses were to the top two in the World but we've been largely clueless. Last week's game wasn't exactly inspirational.
A great improvement will be required to beat Australia.
I'm not optimistic.

You're probably right TM, we do have something of a mortgage on all the silverware these days.

Why are the New Zealand team allowed to do that homosexual dance routine before all their games. The one where they simulate rimming a bloke with their tongue, rather unsavoury to say the least.

If England do not beat Australia I will be a tad displeased.
After the performance against Samoa I have the cat on standby for a good kicking.
