The Rugby World Cup kicks off in the next two weeks : just wondering if anyone has any thoughts, given that this site has members from most countries participating??
The pools are as follows :
Pool A
England
Samoa
South Africa
Tonga
USA
Pool B
Australia
Canada
Fiji
Japan
Wales
Pool C
New Zealand
Italy
Portugal
Romania
Scotland
Pool D
Argentina
France
Georgia
Ireland
Namibia.
Group C and Group D, I reckon will be pretty tight as to see who gets out of the group phase.
Each team must play every other team in their pool.
Group A isn't a cakewalk either : Tonga and Samoa are big physical sides and won't lack against either England or South Africa.
Any thoughts??
(PS : I'm gonna stick this thread for September - for the duration of the tournament).
