    Ireland to win their group, Scotland in Second, but Japan may surprise us.
    New Zealand will win their group and possibly the competition.
    Argentina are known for having a strong defence, but I think that England will win the group winning most of the games, Argentina second, France in third.
    Australia will win their group, Wales in second place.

    Ya agree on most accounts but the English group ? Not too sure.
    France will be a total different team in the World Cup, it's a 3 horse race and any 2 could go through.
    I think Argentina will be the unlucky team here

    England are in a Pool of Death for the second World Cup in a row but should reach the quarter finals. The other qualifier from the pool is anyone`s guess. New Zealand, Ireland and Australia should win their pools. South Africa and Wales should also get through. Japan with the home support may push out Scotland. I see the All Blacks as being the eventual champions.
    The Truth is out there.

    I think France and Scotland will both squeeze by

    If we win the group in all probability we will meet South Africa so not so simple

    If Ireland win the group, then it is a possibility that you would play against New Zealand.
    Usually first place of Group A plays second place of Group B.
    Second place in Group A will play first place of Group B.

    Either way, New Zealand and South Africa are both powerful clubs with a lot of talent.

    S.Africa are not the same team as a few years ago, remember we nearly beat them in a series on their home soil, only the All Blacks and the Lions have managed it.
    We had them well beaten in the second test until the high altitude caught up with us.
    This is our best chance of a semi ever and after that who knows.

    Yes we should have gone further but we had not the player depth to over come injuries, but we are building a better squad.
    The draw has been kind to us , shows the importance of being in the top 4

    As good a group as possible. Could be us against Japan in the opening game. Should be winning that group.

    England may not have it as easy as they think.
