Rugby World Cup 2027 Draw - LIVE

[mohikamo]

SA NZ France on one side
France to take on winner of SA/NZ

England, Ireland and Argies on the other side

Great chance for the Euros to get a win.

Probably not bad for the aussies as well, if they lose to us first up.

How is it we've never had a good draw?

Define good draw? NZ had a good draw in 1995, but Suzie did her thing.

2007 was a decent draw too until the ABs and Wayne shat the bed.

Looking at it another way.
It's hard to imagine a worse draw.

SA, then France, then England (on rankings), to get the win.

Just thinking . . . the first game of the tournament will be match that both teams will not be bothered if they lose!

We’ve just got to stop being pussies and beat everyone in our path, you know.. like we’ve done before.

[jimmyb]

Can someone clarify how the round 16 games for top Pool A and B against Best 3rd of C, E, F and Best 3rd of D, E,F works? What if the 3rd best is the same team from E or F?

[Ghost678]

If we’re any similar to this year let me put it in laments terms - we’re fucked

[booboo]

Like hell we did. We were on the tough side of the draw. Expected to lose in the semi against the winner of the England-Aus QF. it was only after the semi win against the Poms anyone gave us a chance.

Love your work

[Dodge]

well we've never been beaten in a world cup game in Australia, so I reckon we'll win our pool, beat Italy in the R16, Australia in QF, Argentina in the SF and then one of the also rans in the final.

BWAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!

No meaningful pool games in there anyway…

This nations cup thingy that starts next year has more starch to it.

Ireland have no excuse this time….they basically dodge NZ,SA and FRA until the semi.

[booboo]

So when do we find out who plays who where and when?

[booboo]

Doubt they'll open with Aus v NZ in case we win.

Expect Aus v HK in Perth to open.

Are you assuming Scotland win Group D? If Ireland win Group D they dodge those three to the final

Yeah you're right......so they really have no excuse.

[MiketheSnow]

Good breakdown here based on current RWC rankings and current form

@stodders said in Rugby World Cup 2027 Draw - LIVE:

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

I would. SA in the QF and France in the SF is the worst draw imaginable. QF exit is looking very likely.

[Bones]

Don't really get the whinging, chances are we still have to beat SA in the final anyway if we end up on the other side, plus beat a team equal to or not far off France (who aren't exactly our bogey team at WCs).

Just fucking get on with it and earn it.
