What I'd like to see:
-Japan to get through their group
-Spain to qualify instead of Uruguay and beat Italy to 3rd in group.
-Tonga/USA to beat one of the big three in their group.
-To see the gap between tier 1 and tier 2 closed by the likes of Romania, Georgia and Tonga.
-And, above all, Wales to win the World Cup!

• Ireland to win
• A better tournament for the Pacific Islands after last time
• More improvement for the Tier 2 teams.

 

[SomeOke]

I think these semi's are very likely as things stand:
Ireland v Australia
NZ v England
With whoever wins the NZ vs Eng match to be the eventual winner.

France or SA to be potential disruptors if they can get their respective acts together.
