RWC2011 Draw

Post by FinnBrit » Mon Dec 01, 2008 7:16 pm

Pool A - New Zealand, France, Tonga, Americas 1, Asia 1

Pool B - Argentina, England, Scotland, Europe 1, play-off winner

Pool C - Australia, Ireland, Italy, Europe 2, Americas 2

Pool D - South Africa, Wales, Fiji, Oceania 1, Africa 1

Martin Johnson himself couldn't have handpicked a better draw for England; no try-nation teams! They should be able to make it through to the quarter-finals at least, although Argentina will pose a stern threat. I wouldn't want to be France playing New Zealand at home, Ireland will have to battle the Wallabies and Italy before making the knock-out stages, and Wales will meet the Wallabies. After this weekend's win in Cardiff though, Wales might be a good bet to win the group.

Finland's chances of claiming either of the two European slots are looking slim :cry:


The roundest knight at King Arthur's round table was Sir Cumference. He acquired his size from too much pi.
