England Wales group.

Winner F plays Italy or Georgia. Then quarters is probably Australia

Runner up F plays Fiji. Then quarters is probably France.

That's better than we (Wales) deserve.

Probable New Zealand vs South Africa Quarters will be big.

Right side of the routing seems the best route to the final or you got New Zealand, South Africa and France to deal with.

Argh, fucking Ireland again!

You'd do well to win that or you are up against France

I'd sooner take France than Ireland at the moment, far too many years of hurt

France was lucky!
