Today the international Test seasons kicks off once again as England face Australia, and Wales host the All Blacks. We’ll take a look back to this time last year with this great compilation from the November Tests in 2008.
Each year the best of the Southern Hemisphere heads up North to take on the best on offer. This year, Argentina, Fiji, and Samoa will also be touring, which makes for an interesting few weeks.
It was a Grand Slam winning tour for the All Blacks last year, who beat all before them once again, following on from the success of 2005. This year they’ll be looking to go unbeaten too, with a few new players in the line up that will be out to grab the opportunity.
Australia are hoping for a Grand Slam success this year, the first since 1984. They already beat Gloucester, and today go up against the team they lost to in the 2003 World Cup final, England.
The Springboks play three Tests, with France, Italy and Ireland all looking to knock them off their perch. They had a bit of a set back last night though, as their second stringers lost to a pumped up Leicester Tigers side. We’ll have highlights of that soon.
This video is quite simply a compilation of some of the more memorable moments from last year. Anyone care to place their predictions for what’s going to happen this time around?
We’ll have all the best moments from all the biggest matches, right here on RD over the next few weeks. Keep stopping by.
