I am really not too sure which way to turn this weekend which means I should leave this game alone but as Anonymous seems to enjoy ridiculing me each week & the emotional hedge is leading to some real enjoyment watching these games at the pub I can't turn away from that strategy.
 
The Aussies have been talking about physicality in the last few days which seems to me to be a way of talking up their own confidence which must be shot to pieces against the All Blacks.  Still I expect them to be very fired up & to hang tight for most of the match.  I also think Jonathan Kaplan (who has fallen down the pecking order a bit) might be influenced by a lot of the media talk about the All Blacks' illegal tactics as well.
 
So I am going to take the Aussies on the point start of 14.5 points at $1-82.  I will also take a little slice of the Aussies by 12 & under at the very generous $10-50 offered on Betfair.
