JPNZ:

Last year it was a B/C team and pushed us hard. This years its an A/B team and much stronger than last years. They left the top 8-9 players playing in the top 14 final last weekend out.

I think it will be a LOT closer than the TAB think

Yeah, but last year we had a B/C coaching/selecting team and this year we have an A/B...

IMO we'll miss Holland, and Jordan if he doesn't play. The rest, not so much.
