[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 1013567, member: 72977"] It's strange how similar some groups are to 2019. Pool A: NZ are playing Italy and probably Namibia again as well as an Americas nation. Just swapped France with S.A really. So probably at least 3 teams the same. If it's also Canada then 4 teams the same. Pool B: Ireland and Scotland together again also with probably Samoa or Tonga. If Samoa then again 3 teams the same. Also have Europe 2 and in the unlikely event Russia qualify again it would be 4 teams the same. Only difference is S.A instead of Japan. Pool C: Already has 3 teams the same as pool D from 2019 with Australia, Wales and Fiji. Also got Europe 1 which will probably be Georgia so 4 teams the same and could also get Uruguay again hypothetically, which would be all 5. Pool D: England and Argentina the same, which is 2 teams and joined by Japan. Last time it was Tonga and America, which is possible again. Furthermore Pools and A & B are basically swapped around and pools C & D are swapped around. Depending on the group stages, could be some very similar knockout games as well. [/QUOTE]
