of Australia's dominance at Test level is what will happen this weekend.
Great Britain will win because i think our forward pack is vulnerable when Fitzgibbon doesnt play. Its easiest to see in the way Hindmarsh plays. With Fitzy there, Nathan doesnt have to concentrate on defence as much and hence his attacking play is sensational to watch and thus gains many metres in attack. Same with the other forwards too. Fitzgibbon takes alot of the pressure off them in defence so they can concentrate more in attack.
For them to prove me wrong, i think Hindmarsh will need to concentrate more on defence and guys like Willie Mason and Webcke NEED to step up in attack.
While we'll probably end up winning the tri-series, i still see that Australia's dominance will probably end in about 2 years time. This weekend's game will be the turning point.
