New Zealand v France Round 1:

The two top rated teams in the world of rugby will clash this weekend in Eden Park in Auckland.
This will be the first international test so we can expect to see some weakness in both teams. Much the same as the South Africa and Australia didn’t seem to firing on all cylinders. The French team will award 6 new caps this weekend. This is due to the four top teams in France are in the play offs for the championship. The French seem to be really under strength for this weekend. I am sure that they will draw inspiration from the Welsh performance last week.

Australia v Wales Round 2
Wales still has a bitter taste in their mouths after Australia clinched victory in the last seconds. Wales is sure to put in another great effort and throw everything they have at the Wallabies. Adam Jones will not be playing as he injured his calf in a training session. Australia will look back on the last game and try to improve their performance. Let see what the wallabies are able to come up with.

South Africa v England Round 2
England’s Star fly half Johnny Wilkinson was unable to train this week due to bruising after the thrashing they received from South Africa. There has been talk that they will try “hide” Johnny Wilkinson this weekend from the South Africans in an attempt to protect one of their stars.

Argentina v Ireland Round 2
The Pumas will field a very different team to last weeks game. While the Irish coach has said that he would be wanting his team to play the same type of game……… However with a different result.
