Autumn Internationals Thread
Yes! Some international rugb....oh shit all Ireland's best players are injured.
Week 1 - NZ should obviously crush Scotland, with Glass Jaw McCaw selected before he goes off on holidays
An inexperienced England should have no problems with Fiji. Lancaster is doing a worryingly good job
Grand Slam champions Wales take on perennial grind merchants Argentina but the bigger story is the financial state of the Welsh clubs as the flood of players leaving for France is becoming a full scale exodus.
Ireland take on the most despicable team on earth, South Africa, who are fielding an experimental team, so we'll be blooding some new names to hate for the next few years tomorrow. We're racked with injuries. No BOD, POC, Ferris, SOB or Kearney. Allows for some new faces to get a go (only way they will under Kidney). I'm looking forward to seeing how O'Mahony and Henry get on on the flanks, but Zebo at full back doesn't fill me with confidence. Strauss becoming Irish and walking into the test team angers me when there's a perfectly good Irish hooker being left on the bench.
