    Contrary to recent reports, the law variation dubbed the '20-minute red' cards will not feature at the Rugby World Cup in France.

    @Stargazer really hope one of the NH teams gets on the wrong side of a Red Card early on and it loses the game for them.

    I was thinking the same. France in the opening game will do!

    @Bovidae Nah, need more than one country and the Anglo-French rivalry will just see the other home nations celebrate when a Frenchy gets sent off. It should be early in an English and in an Irish game.

    Are they going to at least use the initial yellow + reviewable/upgradable to red system to take the pressure off of the ref to make a rushed decision?

    following the pools discussion on the other thread. The draws throw up some really fun games

    In our pool we play France first, and who ever loses that has to stress about the Italy game, which for us is 2nd last, but for France is last. For perfect drama we win the opener and France are faced with an enormous banana skin
    South Africa can't focus on Ireland, because they play Scotland first. And if Ireland lose to SA, they have Scotland on the last weekend.
    In the pool C shitfight Wales, Aus and Fiji will have all played each other in the first 3 weeks.
    Pool D i can't see anyone but the top 2 progressing, nor anyone else beating them, but they play week 1, meaning the loser has to stress right through.

    I feel like there is one Group upset that throws the draw open every cup. Not sure it's quite that dramatic this time given the split of the pools. Maybe anything that makes England and Aus play each other in a quarter?

    Or Ireland losing twice and missing the knockouts...

    One of the strange things about this RWC is that in an effort to avoid midweek games there is a big gap between some games (~ 2 weeks). For some, like the ABs, Ireland and England, it is between their pool games, but for others like SA and Aust it is before their QF. The latter could be a problem in that you risk losing any momentum and match hardness by not playing for nearly 2 weeks. We'll find out what is better in time.
