Both the sides are crap scrummagers.
Agreed!

I don't know. Japan has won every match in World Cup qualifying against Asian teams by a huge margin, at that doesn't look like it's going to change.
I think he means the African team that qualifies has been the weakest in the final tournament, which would make sense. Perennial African qualifier Namibia have been beaten by pretty large margins never threatening to win a match while Asian qualifier Japan has a few wins/draws to their record.
The African qualifying itself has shaped up to be the most competitive all the way around but the best Asian qualifier is better than the best African qualifier. Although one oculd argue Madagascar's huge home field advantage put them through but we will see next year how talented they truly are when they will be most likely have to play the Division 1A tournament away from the Mahamasina and from Madagascar.
Definately Belgium at the moment, there are a few Belgians in the Pro D2 and Belgium has played the likes of Canada and others in friendlis in recent years.
Just out of curiosity. Where would people say rugby is bigger out of Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands?
Racing-Métro will be hosting their Heineken Cup match against Saracens in Bruxelles (Brussels in english?)
