    I like that England has been located for a quick exit. From Lille they could finish a game, hop on the bus and be back home licking their wounds quite quickly.

    I assume the Portugal v USA game will be streamed on The Rugby Network like the previous matches.

    Just for info, Portugal v USA is 18 v 19 on the rankings.

    Be close.

    Having said that, Hong Kong v Kenya is 24 v 34.

    Portugal are going to the RWC!!

    The game between the USA and Portugal ended in a 16 all draw, but Portugal goes through on a better points differential.

    An exciting game to watch, with so much at stake. Portugal deserved the win with much more entreprising, positive rugby. The USA looked nervous and scared for most the game and were way too passive, except maybe in the final quarter.

    Portugal were leading until the USA scored a try in the 60th minute. They scored a penalty in the 80th minute to get the draw.

    Good for them

    Shit for USA rugby

    NZ and Italy is even worse. It will be 7 of the 10 RWCs.

    An A vs D and B vs C crossover for the quarters would have so much more credibility..

    Hmmmm, so that Kenyan double yellow ended up being a big deal after all, possibly eliminated USA.

    They really cocked up the draw this time didn't they, as teams don't go to the other side? In other words, we can't have the two best teams from the same pool meet in the final, or did I get that wrong?

    You can as there’s a crossover in the semifinals. A NZ v FRA final is possible

    They've always used A vs B and C vs D in the QFs.

    The problem comes from the allocation of the teams to the Pools, based on the bands at that time.

    As we've discussed the rankings can change a lot between then and the tournament.

    Absolutely disgusting and incompetent that the pools are named so early

    No USA or Canada. South America will be happier with Uruguay and Chile, as well as Argentina.
