England v All Blacks Betting
Very hard to see Engerland doing a job on the All Blacks. Poor Martin Johnson essentially has a group of players that are not great and he is telling them to do stuff and just can’t quite understand why they are not able to do it.
Watching him in the stand is quite funny actually. He can’t believe what his team are doing. Johnson is used to playing with World class players and playing on brilliant teams, whether it was for club or country, but now he finds himself landed amongst a bunch of players that only 2 would be guaranteed a place on the Irish team (Wilkinson is a different class to O’Gara and Shaw is a different class to O’Callaghan). So the problem Johnson has is that he is 13 players short of beating Ireland which means that he is probably 15-20 points short of getting close to NZ.
Wilkinson aside, there is nothing in the English backline that worries the All Blacks. Moody will run around like a lunatic all day and Shaw will carry and hit, but the All Blacks can easily handle that.
Carter will be made look far better than Wilkinson tomorrow as he will get more ball and will have far better options outside him. If it was the other way around Wilkinson would look far better than Carter.
Prediction - NZ to win by 15.
Other International Matches
Elsewhere if Australia get the same turnover count as they did against Ireland they will beat the Scots. Ireland will beat what looks like a very unorganised Fiji team. The Welsh will win a bruiser against the Argentinians and the Boks will get their first win against the Italians. The French will not be as up for the Samoa game like they were last week against the Boks, but will still win.
Ireland to beat Fiji by 18
Australia to beat Scotland by 11
Wales to beat Argentina by 8
SA to beat Italy by 15
France will beat Samoa by 10
