Rugby World Cup, most open edition ever ? Which region will provide the winner ? on 07:19 - Sep 4 by DJR
It certainly won't be Scotland, having been drawn with Ireland and South Africa.
A group with those ranked first, second and fifth (Scotland) in the World doesn't seem fair to me.
To add insult to injury, the top 5 in the world are all on the same side of the draw. So whoever gets out of the Group of Death has to play New Zealand or France in the QFs.
So 3 of the top 5 sides in the world can’t get to the semis. And if they do they’ve had a much tougher path.
I think Australia and Argentina on the other side of the draw are looking good. And even a poorish England and Wales could build some momentum with their pathway.

NZ Ireland France SA
One of those 4, can't see anyone outside of that list. I would plump for France at a push, so on that basis NH.
Yep it's hard to look beyond those 4 .... Oddly enough it's the Saffers in that list that aren't the chokers at the Rugby world cup unlike in the cricket.

That is a piece of art worthy of the Louvre hanging next to La Gioconda
