Pool c is the most intersting. If France continue their form in these following years, then that could be entertaining, if not NZ have that covered. SA have a fairly competitive pool but I suspect they are a level above and able to win out that, England have got the best deal here though tbh. That is fairly light work as it is right now.

[@jeffjefferson3364]

Japan are the anti-England! Jones will realise that though to be fair, but one thing Japan will be good at is moving the ball across the field and through defence. What they won't cope with is the set piece of England. England won't be able to play their current kick strategy against Japan that just gives a great attacking team more time on the ball that's Japan's only way to win which they know and will focus on bringing that to England. England will have to actually play with ball in hand that game to make it easy pickings.

South Africa always respects the AB's. They have amazing players and get picked on merit not quota. You fail, you out and theres others waiting for a chance for the prestegious cap. With regards the upcoming world cup, I believe the pools were incorrectly picked. If I were a betting man, and based on this, you can bet that either Australia or England will be in the final. As for our Pool, its hard to say as all the teams are so strong. My hope is the sprongboks make it, but if not them, The AB's. Rugby needs a complete change. The rules are dreadful, the Refs cant keep up there so many rules to abide by. Its a contact sport like boxing, cage fighting etc, but soon it will be touch rugby at this pace. Lets go back to the old ways of real rugby. Its the players choice to play or not and yellow and red cards should be given out for really bad stuff like biting, kicking etc...

Georgia and Uruguay also probably 3 WC ! amazing

Italy 2019- it's not fair our pool game v NZ was cancelled World rugby 2020- alrighty then!

[@silmarienprince3137]

As a Aussie , No complaints . Italy got a tough draw. The AB and France ( home Nation) is a tough call

[@JackOfBlades8642]

Sucks for them 😂 I think any team on the World would want to avoid that pool.. 😄

What a fraud Group B has 5 of the Top Ranked Teams (Ireland-South Africa-Scotland) in the world in the same group, is this just a set up to get England ranked 6 or 7th after defeat to Wales yesterday to get to the final???

Why oh why is a WC draw being made 33 months away from it starting? It's getting ridiculous at this stage. The FIFA WC draw is made 6 months before hand. Why can't World Rugby get their house in order.

[@musikwazwothebadzhi1725]

This is not FIFA WC. You're at wrong place sir

[@simbarashecharuma9411]

Because they are teams still to qualify, the competitions go as far up to 2 weeks before the World Cup and that is now conducive for other nations because they would need to be in a position to know who they are facing

[@archierch0463]

It's based on rwc 19 results as well

[@mickser101]

@@musikwazwothebadzhi1725 My point went completely over your head, read again.

[@Shravan-yd4dk]

It's because most of those qualified teams are qualified based on 2019 WC results unlike FIFA WC where every country needs to play in the qualifiers to qualify. And it's helpful for those countries to know their opponents 2.5 years before the tournament actually begins and they can be well prepared. The teams yet to qualify too will be aware whom they're actually facing so it's kind of good thing IMO

[@MrPosiden360]

So the rest are probably Pool A: USA and Namibia Pool B: Samoa/Tonga and Russia Pool C: Georgia and wildcard (Chile/Uruguay) Pool D: Tonga/Samoa and Canada

[@zacharycharles9873]

I reckon wildcard could be Germany or maybe even Hong Kong

At lease SA don't have the final in there first round.

One thing I do admire about South Africa is their courage and belief. They don't care what pool they're in unlike every other country. That's coming from an England fan as well.

The easier groups are Group A specially (lucky France not having all blacks again unless at the final match) and after that D/C for the two top 8 in each group (in today´s ranking I mean). The harder being "B".

[@bertrandmarion1927]

yeah the 2nd of the pool A will face the boks in quarter ... an the first will face England in quarter , I think , no I'm sue that you are wrong saying it is good to be in pool A , oh by the way ask Italy if they are happy to be in pool A ? B ??? well i dont know in 2023 but Irlande has done nothing recently , Scotland meh not much better and after probably Samoa and (Romania/Russia) lol pool B is a joke

Curious to see how France handles the pressure, being the host nation. England were bundled out in the QFs when they hosted it. Their worst showing in a RWC i believe.
