RWC Draw
-
England got the draw I wanted for NZ, but it wont suit them as much.
-
And between now and 2019 , South Africa will get their shit back together ,
And be the second best team in the world

Italy, geez we always seem to get those muppets.
They mentioned we've faced them 6 times in RWC's. Not sure where they got that figure though since there's only been 5 RWC's.
3?

Interesting pool for Ireland with either NZ or SA waiting in the quarters if they qualify from group.
They lost to Scotland in the Six Nations this year. Puts pressure on Schmidt to do well in their tour to Japan next month without 11 first-teamers in the squad and unlikely to have Heaslip or Kearney either. Time for the new boys to shine.

Eddie will switch back allegiances mid week and become assistant coach to Japan , because he knows how to beat the ABs

@Rapido Is Chicago on the Japanese venues list?
Not for us you numpty.
QF of Death for Ireland, a country with a thing about QFs.

I like our draw. Happy to get the Boks and fuck all else. Mind you, Italy beat the Boks last time out.
Yup, we get a good tough game while being comfortable that win/lose we'll go through. Perfect.

England will be hoping they get out of their pool again...

Sorry to break this to all you guys, but it doesn't matter anyway, nobody's interested in the World Cup. It's just a money-spinner with fake enthusiasm pushed by the broadcasters, newspapers, and merchandising salesmen.
And?

It's not a bad draw i guess. It lacks that balls-out excitement of that pool from 2015, but overall it's as good as you can expect.
Pool A looks tasty, with Scotland more than capable of tipping over the Irish, and the Japanese as home will be a fun proposition.
Italy can't throw any games if they hope to qualify, so we'll get two decent games, and 2 complete tune ups.
Pool C will be a shit fight, but good for England as they'll get two tough games. Picking the Argies to kick the Frogs out.
Pool D is the only shit pool, with a bunch of average teams, which Aus will top thanks to Wales' mental block.
Hey, we don't have Tonga for a change!
It's looking like NZ v England final, but there's always one upset that throws the whole draw open.
