England in another "pool of death"....
Japan will happy with their pool, gives them the best chance.
-
So pool c will be dubbed pool of death no doubt.
One tough pool game for us, the rest will be a walk.
Italy, geez we always seem to get those muppets.
You could say the following are almost a lock for quarter finals:
Ireland
ABs
SAThe other spaces out of
Japan/Scotland
England/France/Argentina (x2)
Australia/Wales/Oceania (Probably Samoa) (x2)Edit; Pool D might not be so clear cut as I thought at first glance.
-
Good draw for us - probably the best of the top 4 seeds. One tough game against the Jaapies and another solid opponent in Italy. Would have been nice to get, say, Canada rather than Africa 1 (Kenya? Namibia?).
Pleased we avoided the Group of Death hype (and danger).

whats the playoff draw like
Based on the last wc, it was winner A v 2nd B, and Winner B v 2nd A, same with C and D.
Haven't had time to look at the semis. So it looks like we will be playing Scotland in the quarters.

They mentioned we've faced them 6 times in RWC's. Not sure where they got that figure though since there's only been 5 RWC's.
Whatever you're smoking, can I have some...?
What happened to the missing 3?
