yeah C - argies could possibly beat poms and probably france... never write off the flamboyant french though... if their chemistry clicks they can beat anyone...

Yes the Frogs just tidied up the Jocks 32-3 over the weekend so look out for that Gallic flair next month! Hope the ABs don’t meet them.....

Pool A ...  the way i see it potentially Japan, a team of mercenaries is capable of upsetting the apple cart knocking out Scotland and Samoa and progressing through with Ireland...

Pool C...Depending on which French team turns up and which Argentinian team turns up even England is'nt safe.....

Pool D...Fiji on their day passes sticking will beat the Aussies ...and at a stretch Wales ...can't wait til the Fijian's unleash Radradra - if you think Kerevi is good then watch out for Radradra in the Fijian centres....short turn arounds between games and discipline could be the Fijians undoing tho... Very dangerous Fiji and paying $45 to win their pool could be some money to be made on a team fast rising up through the world rankings...

Potentially three pools where nothing is guaranteed...call them pools of death if you wish..

No question Radradra is a weapon... honed in NRL... shame dumbass ARU didnt catch on there quicker...

Surprised the kiwis didnt claim him.....lol

But nah... bet on Fiji at your peril - good for 7s not for tournament rugby... all super athletes and one on one best anyone anytime...

...can't see much point in the ABs playing Tonga but i guess Hansen is right about being too big a break between the Bledisloe and RWC... so the boys need a run to stay fresh...

.. , yup Radradra like Folau another public relations disaster for the Aussies ...you can imagine how determined Semi will be to give the Aussies a bloody nose after the way he was treated ...gunna be a hard physical game ...

...and Radradra is but one of many strike weapons the Fijian team possess ...and unlike Arstralia the Fijians won't give up....hopefully the bookies make Australia heavy favourites and i can cash in..

...also i see after only a year or two in the Australian NRC the Fijian Drua team won the whole competition last year....so Aussies are used to getting their arse kicked by the Fijians...will the RWC be any different

I'll enjoy watching the saffas bash the inconsequential kiwi fwd pack again...  and... because the game will be on neutral territory - I'll be bettting the farm on the saffas to dominate the spiralling kiwis.

yeah but beating world ranked team of 6....? really you think thats an acheivement after being demolished in Perth by that same 6th ranked team...?

At least its unanimous - go the saffas vs kiwis... in fact anyone vs kiwis... haha

funny thing is... in cricket I am very anti pom... I was actually gutted for kiwi cricketers in WC - robbed by the original fag bashing 'ranga -
