Whilst I would expect Australia to win this one, it’s not a surety as many punters feel. The Wallabies are adapting to the NH rugby after playing the Tri-Nations and now have England and Ireland behind them. Much will depend on the changes Deans makes to the starting line…and I wouldn’t be surprised if there isn’t a few. Scotland have some big lads and if they get to run at our smaller guys too often, it could take its toll.
I would predict, however, that it will be Australia by either 3 or 30. There’s no in between with this one.

Fiji are now looking forward to their next game.
Scotland will be in fine form and are very positive about taking on a poor Australian side that managed to scrape a draw against Ireland at the weekend. Andy Robinson will be aiming to put Scotland back on the playing map.
The front row should be a good contest.
Scotland by 5-7 I’d say.
