As summer begins to wind down my thoughts turn towards the great series of internationals we have coming up as Australia, New Zealand and Argentina visit our shores.
The All Blacks are still reeling from their defeat to South Africa in the Tri-Nations Cup, where their own coaching staff said that 'basic rugby skills' had been lacking from New Zealand's approach to the games.
Australia fared even worse than their antipodean counterparts winning only one of their games in the competition. The Wallabies will certainly be seeing the autumn games as time to consolidate and bounce back.
Meanwhile Argentina remain a force to be reckoned with in the Southern Hemisphere and I reckon that Los Pumas will definitely have a surprise or two up their sleeve.
All in all the stage looks set for some great games of rugby, see you there!
