[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1067947, member: 74121"] Video of a basic and (I think) broadly accurate appraisal of the groups. [MEDIA=youtube]ChVId1XOIOk[/MEDIA] Oh to be an Englishman, Welshman, Australian or Argentinian (although Fiji, Japan, Samoa and Georgia may ask questions). A truly horrible draw for anyone with Scottish, Italian or Georgian affiliations - I'd hate to be in their shoes! It is not unfeasible that all three miss out on auto-qualification for 2027 by finishing third in their group (depending on how many capped players Tonga can persuade to switch allegiance). There is a less than 1% chance of that happening but you wouldn't bet the farm on Scotland beating an enhanced Tonga and improving Romania, Italy beating Uruguay and Georgia beating Fiji. Roll on 2027! :D [/QUOTE]
