The draw is also live on Sky sport 3 at 10pm tonight -

Also on Stan for those Aus based.

[Smudge]

For those of us who may not be able to view the YouTube stream later tonight for whatever reason, would someone be able to live-post the draw?

[Smudge]

(The above was not a serious request)

[Gunner]

I expect us to get Italy, like almost every other World Cup…

7 times so far.

I'd laugh if we got Australia. The only big team we haven't been in the same pool as previously.

The other fact I read:

Never played before: Chile, Hong Kong China, Spain, Zimbabwe

[Gunner]

So we get Aussie, Chile, Hong Kong

[Bovidae]

Called it!

Should make it past 3x minnows ...

[Canes4life]

So it’s the Rugby Championship sides + a few more on one side of the draw, versus the Six Nation sides + a few more on the other side.

[Bones]

Happy enough with that. At least one stern test before (hopefully) progressing, whereas SA will have basically just had training runs.

[Bovidae]

So we knock off three firsts with our pool opponents.

The HKC coaches are Kiwis too.

[jimmyb]

That desperate to get a NH team into the final

[stodders]

Would NZ throw the Oz game to miss playing SA in the QFs?

[mohikamo]

SAs first stern test will probably be against us in the quarter-finals.

[Canes4life]

That’s it then, we better get accustomed to this Boks side next year as we’ll need to beat them to win another WC.

[mohikamo]

@stodders

That is exactly what I was thinking

[jimmyb]

So will likely need to beat the Bok and France to get into the final

[mohikamo]

@jimmyb
definitely the harder side of the draw

Realistically the three best sides, and the home nations get a fairly piss easy ride into the semis. I bloody hope Argentina go and do it

[Kruse]

Ireland's best chance to get past QF. Just Scotland/Argentina in the way, really.
Boo.
