Would love for England and Wales to get through but with Wales' injuries it will probably be Australia/England.
Wales injuries couldn't have hit at a worse time, I think otherwise they could have been able to shock the wallabies, I just hope England can, it's such a bad group to be in
Fiji could cause a lil bit of havoc as well. Not saying they'll get past the group stage by any means but could complicate things.
Wales have poor depth and a short turnaround from us to Fiji. That is their best chance for an upset. I don't think they will have a chance against us, coming off a big game against England.
How on earth does pool a/pool c happen? seems like a major fuck up in ranking systems. 3 teams plenty better than the second best team in c is a joke.
Pools are done years out. Wales were down to 9th in the world when the rankings were made. The rankings are bit of a joke as well because Italy and the USA basically have the same ranking but Italy are a lot better in reality. They are just hamstrung by always losing in the Six Nations. World Rugby are going to do the pools later next time but that could still lead to some anomalies occurring.
Agree that the groups shouldn't be drawn up 3 years before the WC but there is always going to be a pool of death anyway.
Happy to go two weeks each with rego first. Provided Rego was signing up for the bet and not just commenting,
They are talking about it. I think they will still want to do the draw more than 12 months out so fans know where their team is playing and can book early.
If FIFA can manage to have the draw 7 months out, and the last team qualify about 8 or 9 months out, then surely the IRB can do it successfully.
Not doing it 3 years out? I think so. My point is there will always be a couple of top tier nations that get put together plus Italy or an island team making it the pool of death
Yeah agree, sadly due to an under strength Welsh side unless Fiji does something this pool looks a lot more clear cut
