There's no easy QF.
Scotland/Japan are a clear rung below the other three likely finalists. Weaker than last tournament too.
My point being does either of them in the QF open up one side of the draw?

Not really, like I said before it really can only open up if Ireland win their QF and/or we lose ours.

Most interesting will be seeing how Argentina cope when the game isn’t a friendly
They go pretty well at RWC time don't they? My memory suggests their record has been pretty good over the last few tournaments

Oh, this is bloody, gloriously priceless. Sir Clive Woodwhinge profiles the Teams and here he is on NZ.
""Key man: Tempting to say Beauden Barrett, their best player, but actually the man who cements the backs together is Sonny Bill Williams.
Rising star: Richie Mo’unga, a quality new No10 but it’s his goal-kicking New Zealand need most.
Weaknesses: Very few, but lost occasional matches through goal kicking, hence spotlight on Mo’unga.*
Does he know BB generally takes the kicks when RM is playing & SBW is rarely fully fit?
And we think the likes of Rattue don't actually watch games....

I was aware of that. Just wanted to provide a real answer for a change. The cat man has gone strangely quiet lately....

Oh, this is bloody, gloriously priceless. Sir Clive Woodwhinge profiles the Teams and here he is on NZ.
""Key man: Tempting to say Beauden Barrett, their best player, but actually the man who cements the backs together is Sonny Bill Williams.
Rising star: Richie Mo’unga, a quality new No10 but it’s his goal-kicking New Zealand need most.
Weaknesses: Very few, but lost occasional matches through goal kicking, hence spotlight on Mo’unga.*
Does he know BB generally takes the kicks when RM is playing & SBW is rarely fully fit?
And we think the likes of Rattue don't actually watch games....

@booboo maybe he thinks all Kiwis look the same, cos I'd say Crotty is more likely the guy that brings everything together, I guess its easy to see how he could mix those 2 up though.

Well I know everyone is eagerly awaiting the news, so I'll steal @antipodean thunder...
The winner of the Parliamentary Rugby World Cup, by virtue of a golden try in overtime is... NZ.

Thunder well stolen. Too busy drinking with the teams. Great game played in excellent spirit and genuinely nice guys. Looking forward to doing it all again in France.
