Jinxing it

[Lizard]

The All Blacks have notched up 5 wins in a row. The run to beat their "Tier 1" record streak of 18, shared with England, looks like this:

Done:
TRC2017
1. Aust
2. Aust.
3. Arg
4. SA
5. Arg

To go:
6. SA

2017 Bledisloe III
7. Aust

2017 November tour*
8. France
9. Scotland
10. Wales

2018 June tour**
11. France
12. France
13. France

TRC 2018
14.-19 Argx2, Austx2, SAx2

Looks doable.

*The tour opens against the Baabaas and includes a mid-week game v French XV, so a late-added 4th test seems unlikely.
**A warm-up v one of the Island teams is possible.

They'll fall short at number 10....

To me Bledisloe III looks to be the likeliest banana skin. They've done that to us a couple of times in recent years. No disrespect intended to Wales.
