    I live in southern France and watch all the various levels of rugby. Great days out in Carcassonne where all the crowd gets involved singing, drinking, banging gongs. Everyone is happy. Its hard to see anyone going past France. La Rochelle marched over what was essentially the Irish team. The Wobblies cant be sucked into playing down the centre. I reckon we have to get the ARU to throw away the Giteau Rule if we are to get close to winning. Skelton, the Arnolds, Simmons, the Japan based players have to be all available. Put Super Rugby protectionism aside for awhile.
    Nice-Toulon-Marseille. Great area but very dense and expensive. Car rentals will be through the roof. The majors ran out at Easter and prices were over 100 a day if you could find a car. If you didn't/couldn't pick up on time, you lost your car. People were resorting to renting vans from the supermarkets, and even they ran out. Do your planning in advance.
    There are FB groups called Australians in France and Aussies in France. Many of the members have accommodation available - ranging from small gites, apartments, right through to the occasional chateau. And lots of large country houses with rooms to spare. Sometimes private accommodations are less expensive and more personal than a tour which is understandably centred in a chain hotel - a concrete box. Apologies to Will. I'm a member of the FB groups and we were kicking around the idea of "Meet a Local". That is, a local Australian based in all the major pool match cities could show a RWC visitor where to get a real local croissant, or where the best coffee is served, including a flat white. Why not meet some locals in great little cafes, try out your French? Have fun. Be shown the best local shops not to get over charged. Where locals shop. The best local boutiques or galleries for companions who may be less RWC focused. Make the most of your trip to the other side of the world.
    Guys, just trying to help you to have a great time in France.

      It all seems absurd until you realize, that they have a gimme of a group, and the first time they can meet a top team is in the finals, with underwhelming England being their toughest opponent until the potential finals. Add to that the fact, that all the eventual other finalist would have had to deal with all the other top 4 teams by then and will be pretty battered.
      On top of all this, there’s the Eddie Jones factor: think whatever you want of the man, but he always delivers come RWC time, and he’s most successful early on with teams.
      Can Australia win it all? That might be a bit of a tall order, but the Wallabies making the finals is a pretty realistic scenario.

    a) I think the teams that could win the world cup at the moment are
    Ireland
    France
    South Africa
    b) the All Blacks have the players but not the game to win the cup
    c) Wallabies have Eddie Jones - this will be interesting
    d) whoever wins the toughest pool generally tends to makes the final
    e) teams to watch are Scotland, Italy and Fiji
    Pls note I am basing my reasons on what I am seeing with their game plans which can be reflected in their results! What has happened in the past has no real bearing!

    I respect both of them a lot (as much as a South African can respect an Aussie), but they got that last pool horribly wrong. No matter how average England have been in recent months, they're topping that pool for sure. Japan and Argentina will battle it out for second, and I reckon the Argies just have too much muscle for the Japanese. But I do agree that Aus are a dark horse for this tournament. And I believe the winner will be one of NZ, SA or Aus.

    Wallabies dont have the personnel nor BMT to win both the semi finals and finals - even if facing under dogs in final. France are clear favorites, and Ireland are 2nd option for Northern Country to claim the RWC. Failing that, Boks will be hard to beat in A final. NZ 2nd Option for Southern Country to claim the RWC. In my books, this should be the most balanced and competitive RWC in history.

    Not sure where I place England, they have a decent record at the Pool level against Argentina, but the backline really is lacking that X factor and the Pumas have upped their game. I could see England have a quarter final loss against Australia, Jones will be waiting for England.
    Ireland is still the unknown entity, after such a superb 12 months, They could face France in the quarter finals and that could be where a usually slow starting France kick into life.

    Absolutely deluded opinion on display. First of all everyone writing off England are just dumb. They’re still the best team in that group by some way and most their players are still fro, the same team that got to the final, they just have to turn up as a team and improve their tactics and performance in the couple of months they have before the tournament. There is no way Japan top that group and they won’t get out of it, they’ve not got home support this time. The Aussies will get out that group but then it’s 50/50 from there against England or Argentina. Wales should just about have enough to do it but Fiji and Georgia both have the potential to upset. People saying that’s an easy pool, no that’s the hardest pool of 5. Obviously pool B is harder to get out with that top 3 but pool C is the hardest including all 5 teams because Fiji and Georgia are also very good and Portugal have a great attack, their style of play will surprise lots of fans and teams. Scotland have no chance getting out. Ireland should be top but no guarantee. Italy will push one of nz or France close but should still be France and nz to go through, probably France with that home advantage and current form, and that first game will be one hell of a spectacle, probably the best opening game of a World Cup of all time. And the whole tournament in France is just going to be amazing

    It is too early to make a call on the winner of the RWC. The upcoming Championship Cup will reveal whether the Wallabies have any realistic chance of winning the RWC and indicate the relative strength of the Boks and AB's. It is still a long way to the RWC 2023 final. Injuries, form of players, yellow and red cards and decisions of referees will have a major outcome on who wins the RWC.
