So it's another week, another test match and another 80,000 supporters to watch the All Blacks play.

Unfortunately the rugby that's been served up on the northern hemisphere tour hasn't exactly set the heather on fire.

In fact the tour group I've been with have been almost more interested in the spectacle of the occasions and the stadiums rather than the game themselves.

Let's hope that will change at Twickenham.

First up, I'm a little surprised that Graham Henry picked a virtually full-strength team to face the English overnight.

I was sure he was going mix it up and save his strongest side to play the French next weekend because, undoubtedly, next week's test in Marseilles will be the hardest game of the tour.

So to the game itself and I'm picking were going to handle the English.

They're a rip shit and bust side for the first 20 or 30 minutes and then they tend to die away in the game so we'll be too strong down the stretch.

They are a better side now that Johnny Wilkinson is back guiding them around the paddock as they've been rudderless over the last few years.

But it's not going to be enough to beat us.

It would be nice to see the English running with the ball in hand. It would make a big difference for the game and the spectacle.

But because they're much more likely to play a kicking game we might not see much free-flowing rugby in this test (or even in the next couple of international seasons if this modern rugby keeps going the way it's going).

That means it's up to the All Blacks to try and make something from the possession they get.

I'd like to see us keep the ball in hand and try and play lots of phases against the Poms tonight. It's certainly a more positive game than kicking it away and hoping for a mistake.

Our attacking has been a bit ponderous on tour so far because they're waiting to see a break in the defensive line as they move up and then to shift the ball to the spaces and attack from there.

But because the first line usually comes up pretty straight it can be hard to break. But the second and third lines can be pretty disjointed and that's what they've got to look for.

I think if we have a crack we can break the line but that's dependant on people getting back to support so we can get to the second and third lines.

Given the poor rugby so far on tour it means for tonight's game to be considered a success the All Blacks are going to have to show more than they have in the Wales and Italy tests.

That means they're going to have to do more than just win the game.

How do you select players and build for a World Cup by watching them defend all day? Do we pick back solely on their kicking ability?

Obviously not, because some of them can't seem to kick the ball straight.

They're picked for their attacking ability but we don't see enough of it - because the game plan is about chasing the kick and getting field possession.

For the sake of the future we need to see the boys in the backline get the ball on the front foot and let us see what they can do with it.

Equally important in modern rugby seems to be not playing in our own half because kickers around the world can land penalties from anywhere now.

It's all about getting possession in the opponents half and waiting for a mistake.

And we, as spectators, are getting bored of that. That's why the Air New Zealand Cup was so popular this year - teams were trying to run the ball and lots of tries were scored.

So to my prediction and there shouldn't be any surprise I'm picking the All Blacks will beat England reasonably comfortably and I think we'll score at least three tries.

We tend to break the British teams on the outside a lot, because they come in hard around the ruck and maybe leave a few gaps out wide.

I think we can beat them by twenty points easily. Whether we will or not we'll find out in a few hours time.

So what do you think? Are you excited about the test tonight or is it a certain win for the All Blacks?

How much will the All Blacks win by? Or with Johnny Wilkinson back can England sneak the win?

I appreciate all your thoughts and comments.
