Any Northern Hemisphere wins this summer?

I wouldn't be overly surprised if Ireland snuck their first victory over NZ this summer, with Leinster and Ulster representing in the Heineken Cup, but I definitely wouldn't put money on it!

England will go home with their tails between their legs, Wales might win 1 or 2 games.

unfortunately from a northern hemisphere point of view, I think the best chance of victory is going to come from England in South Africa. England have been improving over the last couple of years (apart from their behaviour at the world cup) and South Africa have been getting worse and I think this is where England pass SA.

Wales had a good world cup and a very good six nations but they have a number of top players out and in their last two games against Australia they were easy beaten, even with a good team out. Wales have the capability of beating any team in the world but Australia seem to know how to win against them.

As world champions, New Zealand haven't been dominating games as much as they did when they weren't world champions, if that makes any sense but I think they should cruise to a whitewash against Ireland.

I would have to agree with your predictions for Ireland and Wales but i fancy England to take one against the Boks! I think the NH sides will struggle to match the intesity needed on the first couple of tests in their respective series but will maybe find the performance and confidence levels needed for the last match to compete. That said my Welsh boyos are playing without fear of opponants (which is massive) and will be firm underdogs down under so maybe just maybe they could win their first test. I also disagree with the comments above about the weak welsh club sides with the the ospreys in great form (front 5 have been awesome,Ryan Jones has been outstanding and Tipuric is playing Warburton out of International 7 contention!). I really hope Ireland are brave and look to use their tour to find a next generation of internationals but thats a massive task against NZ and prob not the right platform for an intro to international rugby i expect them to stick with the usual tourists and to run the All Blacks close for 60 mins and if they can get them embroiled in an "arm wrestle" game then maybe the home advantage pressure may get to them.(but i can't see it!LOL)England are definately on the up and i hate to say it playing the best intensity stuff out of all the NH sides!Despite all the good press we (Wales) got lucky at twickers and Stuart Lancaster has really got a great balanced squad(Owen Farrell is special) and their team spirit looks to be more than just bar fueled antics now. I fancy them to be closest points wise over 3 tests and deservedly win 1 outright. (not pinch 1 at the death.... WIN 1!) I really hope the Scots perform well too, and do more than just compete in stages. I really love the passion they play with but they just can't seem to capitolise on momentum and then deal with the public expectancy if they do get close. That said Glasgow have been a revelation this season and a huge part of that team will form the spine of the international squad. I just feel they lack a world class 9 and 10 combo to control a match and reward their packs efforts, it just seems they rarely have both a competative pack/decent half backs on the field at the same time in recent years.Whatever the results, I'll be glued to tele for my Welsh side and secretly watching Enghland too (but don't tell anyone please! oops ;-)))

I think Ireland will do better than England just as England took 2nd place from them in the six nations so Ireland will make up for it also Wales will destroy SA after all they grand slammed the six nations

Scotland and Italy wont win any matches

I dn't like the teams' chances in NZ or SA. We should beat Scotland but beating Wales will depend a lot on selections (not necessarily who is fit).

Scotland touring australia - i think australia will win all games

Walse touring australie - i think austalia will win all games (they have already beaten the current on form welsh team twice, which proves that they arent indistructable

New Zealand touring Irland - well i think the irish might just sneak one match from them (but we have to remember club rugby and international arent the same eg. irish has best club teams in world but a less impressive international squad, welsh club teams arent fantastic and they are all slipping (apart from scarlets) but their international is outstanding)

England touring South Africa - England win 2 lose 1

Wales will beat the Aussies at least once. We now have a cohesive, confident,big, strong and skillful side.

I am a Spurs fan. I predicted heat to win the series. I think they will, but I think that Thunder will win Game 5
