Bloody Aussies potentially getting the good half of the draw post group stage yet again! England get another shitty draw. Might be to their advantage to finish 2nd and potentially avoid the All Blacks till the final.

Why do they do the draw over 2 years before the actual event?

Honestly I don't know. Tradition I suppose.

Anyone else thinking you'd rather be Americas 2 rather than Americas 1? I read that 1 is the winner of USA v Canada, and the loser has to play again to win the 2 spot - but it's likely to be against Uruguay or Chile. I'd be tempted the roll the dice and avoid ENG,RSA,ARG to play GEO,WAL,AUS. Australia got really lucky as did Wales. Japan should be happy too. Europe 1 would be Romania ?, Africa 1  Oceania 1,2 and one of the Playoff/Repechage spots will be Tonga, Samoa, Fiji so who's winning the last spot ? Russia ? Does anybody have a link to the Finals bracket ? Can't seem to find one anywhere. |
