[QUOTE="mdaclarke, post: 1013576, member: 73361"] Pool A New Zealand France Italy Americas 1 (USA) Africa 1 (Namibia) New Zealand and France clear favourites. Both will be reasonably happy with their draw, Italy will be bitterly disappointed. Pool B South Africa Ireland Scotland Asia Pacific 1 (Tonga) Europe 2 (Russia) South African draw pretty middle of the road, will be pleased to avoid Australia or France but disappointed not to draw Japan. Likewise with Scotland, pleased to avoid Argentina but disappointed not to get Fiji or Italy. Tough draw for Scotland and Ireland but not as bad as it could have been. . Pool C Wales Australia Fiji Europe 1 (Georgia) Qualifier Winner (Uruguay) No surprises, see every other world cup since the dawn of the dinosaurs Pool D England Japan Argentina Oceania 1 (Samoa) America 2 (Canada) Typical light touch for England although Argentina are probably the strongest of the Tier 3 teams. Japan probably the weakest of the Tier 2 teams. In relation to QF and SF I wonder if they will mix it up a little bit with (A v C and D v B) or (B v C and A v D) [/QUOTE]
