    <p>OK, so maybe England <em>could</em> whitewash Aus would be a better title.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>This from Noddy (I can only imagine the level of foaming at the mouth if an ex-England player had dared say the same - mind you, after getting tonked in the pool stages of RWC it is a big leap):-</p>

    <p>They have to travel to Australia with the attitude of 'we are going to win three nil', otherwise they will get spanked by the Aussies. I think its the right attitude for a touring team to have. It may not pan out that way but they have to believe they will.</p>

    <p>I personally can't see England whitewashing Australia. They will need to give the scrubs a run in Melbourne after locking it up 2-0 and Aussie can win the dead rubber.</p>

    <p>I agree Mike. Not a chance. Mind you I wouldn't put money on any side beating Aus 3-0 in Aus. Even the All Blacks.</p>

    <p>This is a huge call, especially from such a calm, measured, mature analyst such as Lynagh.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>He must have stock options on Eddie Jones or something.</p>

    <p>England are certainly on the improve and they've got some talent - particularly in their locks. I still see this as the most competitive of the June Tours. Wales aren't playing well and have injury concerns, so they're fucked. Ireland look poorly one dimensional and even with a new coach, winning in South Africa is beyond them at this point.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>England should win at least one Test.</p>

    <p>Cant we swap and give the welsh to Australia, rather see us play the Poms as they will be tougher than Wales</p>

    <p>I'm in the opposite camp.  Looking forward to the welsh challenge, they don't get down our way often enough.</p>

    Was 2003 the last time they were in NZ? Remember a very young Dan Carter and Joe Rok playing in that game.

    <p>The test where Jerry Collins knocked a guy out in a tackle and put him in the recovery position in the same movement.</p>

    I have to disagree Mike. There's always a chance. <br><br>
    There's also a vanishingly small chance that I could become Pope, but I think it's possibly the safer bet.

    Clothesline? Looks more like a coconut tackle to me...
