Good on Gorgodze for reversing his retirement after injuries to other squad members.

Like the grizzled old clubby that gets a phone call on the morning of the game to finish the lawns and come and help out the firsts.

Bleus : Picamoles, Lauret et Baille dans les 31 pour le Mondial, Lambey recalé
Lundi soir, l'entraîneur du XV de France, Jacques Brunel, a communiqué la liste des 31 Bleus sélectionnés pour le Mondial (20 septembre - 2 novembre). Longtemps en balance, Louis Picamoles, Wenceslas Lauret et Cyril Baille intégrent le groupe pour le Japon.
There's a decent French side possible with that mix. I certainly could see them get out of the pool and provide a decent quarter final for Wales or Australia.

NZ to beat SA in the final. Comfortably

I'm not going to predict because I'm a wussCanada beat Italy?!
Canada would be lucky to beat a NZ schools 1st XV - they have totally and utterly regressed. I wouldn't even be surprised if Namibia beat Canada. TBH, the RWC pools got thrown out of sync by the Spain/Germany/another country which escapes me (?Romania) being disqualified for fielding 1 or 2 ineligible players.

Ah, it was bad enough to have 2 '...ava's, but if it's not '...dze' or '...vili' shouldn't be in the team!

@Machpants He's played 79 games for Georgia and will be attending his 3rd RWC. Sandro is short for Alexander.

They won't beat Namibia. They're terrible currently.
Russian and Canada are going to stink up this RWC after the last two tournaments have seen the margin of victory over minnows get smaller and smaller.

You see this is why we didn't win the CWC. Reckless posters like you that are nowhere near superstitious enough.

The RWC is always 4 teams shy of being a reasonably competitive 20
4N
6N
Pacific Islands
Japan
Georgia
USANamibia
Canada
Uruguay
RussiaThe best hope for the future is probably that sides like Germany and Spain get stronger. Canada's demise is a mystery - they've produced a couple of very good players down thru the years, not least DTH van der Merwe, who at his peak was an excellent winger (although he was a SA import if I'm honest).
