[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 888040, member: 74121"] Interest all around in this torunament for me. - Georgia transitioning to much younger backs from their fledgling Didi league which is always interesting to see. - Romania trying to continue their upward trajectory of recent years and close the gap further on Georgia and while also integrate some of their Superliga generation of younger players. - Russia probably as inconsistent a team in world rugby as you will ever seen. Can they find a way to be competitive in February before their domestic season starts? Their credible away performance in Tblisi last season suggests to me that they may have found an answer. - Spain have a strong mathematical chance of qualifying, but haven't progressed as I thought they might. They need to start getting BPs to have any chance of RWC qualification in my opinion as Romania are likely to pick up BPs. - Germany is embroiled in internal chaos and last game lost at home to Chile as a result (which is REC relegation form). They have loads of new "German qualified" players who have stuck their hands up to play for the side - but I've no idea what selection issues they may have due to politics. - Belgium beat an improving Portugal in the promotion playoff and are no mugs (just thugs!). Watch with interest as they enrage the opposing team who invariably end up receiving the yellow cards instead of Belgium. Advanced tactics! I think Georgia did well in November against Wales and Canada. They needed to progress to keep ahead of Romania and I think that they have. So I pick them to reclaim the ***le. [/QUOTE]
