    I think there's no way Argentina don't get out of that group. They're comfortably the form team in group D, they will probably beat England and I can't see them getting hammered by any of the rest of those teams. They're above England in the rankings for a reason. They recently beat the All Blacks dude.

    This was obviously filmed before the warmup matches, because England are not getting out of the group and would lose to Fiji in a quarter final, the French will likely beat the ABs, and no way Scotland are beating the Boks, but they can definitely beat Ireland if Irish form doesn't improve before then. Pool C could prove to be the most competitive group if the Aussies don't find some form.

    Kolisi was meant to be out of this WC - and without him SA would have still been good...but now he is back and fit (which is incredible in itself) it makes the Bokke a completely different proposition. Added to that, whilst SA have done pretty well different back row combinations since 2019, I think the return of Du Toit and Vermeulen puts them at a different level.
    The only team I see able to compete in a regular game with SA is Ireland...which makes their group game super important in deciding where the WC goes.
    This is because of the other 2 teams in the mix - France and NZ. I don't think either could beat SA, but I do think they could beat Ireland given the right circumstances.
    If France beat NZ in the group and finish 1st, they will face the 2nd place team from the SA/Ireland group. France could beat Ireland in this scenario due to momentum...but I think they lose to SA. But if France finish 2nd, I think they lose to either Ireland or SA in the QF.
    If NZ beat France in the group, then I see the ABs able to beat Ireland in the QF, but not SA. But again if the ABs finish 2nd in their group, I think they will lose to either Ireland or SA in the QFs.
    That means SA go through to the SF in any scenario
    Ireland go through to the SF if they finish top of their group.
    Otherwise, whoever out of France or NZ wins their group and plays a 2nd place Ireland will go through to the SF.
    I actually fancy Ireland to beat SA in their group and I fancy NZ to beat France in the other group....leading to an Ireland v France and NZ v SA QF.
    Ireland and SA will go through - and both will easily beat whoever they play in the SFs because the other half of the draw is so much weaker.
    Ireland v SA final - and SA reversing their group defeat to win a historic 4th WC.
    But if Ireland lose to SA in the group, then I fancy NZ to go through to the final against SA.
    But in a NZ v SA final, I still see SA as the winners!

    Can someone explain to me why Ireland are being discounted so easily everywhere? I don’t really hear any explanation other than the fact they have never made it passed a quarter.
    What would they have needed to do to even be in with a shot of progressing to a semi.
    They’re Ranked no.1 in the world having beaten the next 9 teams in each of their previous outings.
    SA will be tough. Scotland will be tough but if they escape the group of death yes they might meet france on home turf but are also the only team to have defeated them in the past 12months (or is Frances’s winning of the World Cup inevitable)They might also meet the all blacks. Ireland beat them the last 2 times they played and won 5 out of their 8 last matches. Yet everyone expects NZ to walk over Ireland even now a week after a full strength NZ had their worst defeat in history. I think Ireland have as good a chance to top their group and Scotland could also get out. Scotland have probably been focusing more on beating SA in their preparation over beating Ireland in order to survive the group so they could really help Ireland. Club rugby is on fire in Ireland and the 33 man squad is going into the World Cup missing only one of their first choice selections. Who else can say that? This team is mentally tough so past world cups will not effect the score boards.
    They look like a shiney dark horse to me but what am I missing?
