If everything goes by the seedings (and as Ireland found out against Japan last time it quite likely won`t) then the QF line up would be New Zealand v Ireland, South Africa v France, Wales v Japan and England v Australia. As far as I know Ireland have never played the Springboks in the World Cup before. Unless the Boys in Green can somehow get back their 2018 form then yet another QF exit looks to be the best they can hope for.
