Rugby 2011 World Cup Draw

Pool A: New Zealand, France, Tonga, Americas 1, Asia 1
Pool B: Argentina, England, Scotland, Europe 1, Play-Off Winner
Pool C: Australia, Ireland, Italy, Europe 2, Americas 2
Pool D: South Africa, Wales, Fiji, Oceania 1, Africa 1

---------

Overall I think we are very lucky. Kept away from Argentina for once and Italy are good third seeds to get. Kidney has something to build on now for the next three years.

Wales might be in a bit of bother and will be great to see the rematch with Fiji and with Oceania 1 all but guaranteed to be Samoa it should be a fairly bruising group.

Pool B looks poor with three foward orientated teams in Argentina, England and Scotland.

In Pool A, with New Zealand wanting revenge on France should be very tasty.

Quarter Finals are: A1 v B2, B1 v A2, C1 v D2, D1 v C2
so we should be too frightened of any od Pool D if we get through the group:D
