Ireland, France or SA to win. My favourite teams are Wales (I live here and have much of my ancestry here) and then Argentina (I want somewhere in the Hispanic world to do well, and generally I like Argentines anyway).

I just watch a french youtuber who predict a total fail for Wales with ann elimination in the group phases. Considering the group, it would be a surprise.

Very lopsided draw with 5 of the best teams all on one side so only 2 of the top 5 will get through to semi-finals. Just daft really.

It's because, due to the pandemic, World Rugby in all its wisdom decided to base the rankings on what happened at the end of the last World Cup.

Thomas Ramos (Portuguese born in France) was one of the main characters in this historic victory, he scored 17 points for France (more than half of those scored by his team). Sucks that he doesn't play for the Wolves (Lobos), the Portuguese National Rugby team.
