World Cup Kick-off

The picture changes a bit after the weekend…

Tonga rains on the Samoan parade - England will have a bit more confidence after a poor Samoan performance.
Fiji beat Canada, can they take the Welsh?
The Irish had a scrappy win over Georgia - they don’t look very threatening in Pool D. They maybe handing Argentina and France a pass.

France thump Namibia, can they up their game after the loss to Agentina?

My money’s still on Samoa to take England. What is up with the Northern Hemisphere teams this time around?

No Super 14. No TriNations. No Pacific cup. Just 6 Nations.
If Samoa take England, then Tonga will have a shot at them, too. That could be embarrassing. But Wilkinson should be cleared to play against Samoa, so expect an England scoreline in multiples of 3 :rolleyes:
