[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 966391, member: 74121"] With England and ABs being in the same half of the draw and Ireland having infuriatingly persistent injury issues at fly half, I think there are solid grounds for considering Wales as the most likely to win it all (and certainly the side with the highest likelihood to reach the final). Even though I think the Boks are a bad matchup for them and that contest looks odds on if Japan win their group. England remain my favourites and considered strongest side, but the draw makes Wales the more likely to win in my head (if that makes sense). 1st choice: England to win it all if they routinely start Ford or Slade - if not then 2nd choice: ABs if ALB maintains form and SBW doesn't get a sniff of the starting berth - if not then 3rd choice: Wales if they play Patchell and Liam William's - if not then 4th choice: England or ABs in a coin flip, regardless of their 23. 5th choice: Ireland if Sexton can get to 90% fitness or if Carbery gets to 100% (hard to evaluate obviously) - if not then 6th choice: Boks with any 23. 7th choice: Wales with any 23 8th choice: Wallabies with any 23 9th choice: Scotland with any 23 10th choice: Ireland with Carty starting. 11th choice: Japan 12th choice: France [/QUOTE]
