2012 Autumn Internationals

Yeah I see Wales going 3-1, this is a big Autumn for them they are the best team in the northern hemisphere and need to start beating one of the top sides. England is interesting, I think they have more expectation this time to win. I can England see going 2-2 beating 1 of SA or Aus. As for the team I would have done Mike Brown, Freddie Burns over Barrit and Goode more of a risk but I don't dislike the selection just too safe for me.
 
I think Ireland might surprise a few people, England too.

Scotland I would lol at if they can't even beat Tonga
 
Good start from Fiji but England have picked it up.

Never a yellow too btw.
 
Yeah poor start again for England. This has been the story since Lancaster took over bad start after bad start, got away with it in 6 nations but got punished against South Africa.
 
My son has gone to see the Welsh game as part of a school trip.We're not really rugby fans but it is kick kick kick.He's just sent me a text 'It's like watching Stoke'. Wales are losing 23-12
 
Ha, can't believe Wales lost at home to Argentina. The Argies have come a long way.
 
I didn't watch it (obviously) but heard they were unlucky?
 
35-14

Only yesterday Paddy Power was saying that they couldn't get any takers for England with 16 point advantage.
 
Tuilagi at the heart of everything good for England.

The All blacks had the right idea years ago, steal as many Pacific Islanders as you can.
 
I dread to call my father after Wales lost with the final move of the game. He's probably broken something in the house...
 
Immense display from England
They could easily have been 4-0 this Autumn, but think the defeats against Aus and SA will really help them, almost as much as this win

And some real finds for England

Tom Youngs and Launchbury in particular have been excellent finds, and add further competition to the team, that's the exciting thing, there is now competition for spots, probably with the exception of Dan Cole's and maybe Chris Ashton's, and Tuilagi will be in there, just whether Joseph can force Barritt out
 
Best game in 10 years for me. Helped by watching in 3d I must say.

Turned down tickets at £80 as I thought we'd get smashed. Gutted.
 
Fantastic stuff, well deserved as the All Blacks really got dominated which is very unusual to see.
England should have won all 4 matches this autumn. But they have some world class backs & forwards, things are looking a lot rosier again for England.
