Which pool do you guys think my underachieving side would do the best in? Getting two wins would be unheard of in the same RWC to let you know how it is. They could land in either:
Pool B: South Africa, Samoa, Scotland, Asia 1, Americas 2.
or
Pool D: France, Ireland, Italy, Americas 1, Europe 2.
Heh, I asked (twitter not real life) Todd Clever the captain which he'd rather see the Eagles land in and he said "D of course! " But it was most likely because that would mean they have a good summer and top the Canadians to get the #1 Americas spot. But France/Ireland/Italy tell me that would take a miracle not to end up with at least 3 L's in a pool like that. But it's not like it's too much easier going against South Africa/Scotland/Samoa. Tough either way huh? I guess I just hope they make it, nothing's for sure.
I'd agree with Clever that Europe 2 and Italy should be easier games than Japan and Scotland.
Also, France and Ireland will be tough games but SA and Samoa will be tougher at least in a physical sense and might be more disruptive to your preperatoin for the following games if you have the bigger games early on against those two than France or Ireland would be.
