The Autumn tests, I'm so excited!


Finally the time has come again for the southern hemisphere to take on the northern hemisphere in rugby. Although it could be the World Cup, it isn't as it's autumn, which means test matches. I saw that England lost to an apparently unstoppable New Zealand, who Scotland take on later today, which I will obviously watch. My fave teams in rugby are South Africa, Scotland and Australia, so hopefully they will all do well.

It will be interesting to see if Wales can beat S.A later on today. The latter are not at their best whereas Wales have Shane Williams, the best winger in the world today, no question. South Africa have gone from being a bit physical to very physical over the years and I think that it's slightly because of this that they've gone down hill. Yes, they are the world champions, but they played an under par England side in the final and it was essentially a very boring kicking game.

Lastly the big game: Australia vs England. I will be fully behind Australia here,as I really don't like England in rugby. They don't play the game i like to see, and although they are not so much a "just kick it" team anymore, I still don't like them.
