[QUOTE="TRF_Ezequiel, post: 1142871, member: 42683"] It's not the first time IRB/WR has been criticised for doing the draw 3(!) years in advance. It's absolutely ridiculous that the top-5 teams are on the same side of the draw. One of them won't even get out of the group stage. Meanwhile, the highest ranked team in group C is Fiji (7th) together with Australia (9th) and Wales (10th). The 4 teams from pot 1 are ranked 2nd (South Africa), 4th (New Zealand), 8th (England) and 10th (Wales). I know this is a rare occurrence for it to be this lopsided but maybe it's the push rugby needs to change the way the draw is done. [/QUOTE]
