RWC2011 draw

[Welshbeef]

Oh well Wales sa Fiji & oceans (Western Samoa probably) & Africa.

By far the toughest group or the group where you pick up injuries!!

Eng, Arg, Scot, top european team & winner of the play offs. .... lucky draw

NZ, France, Tonga, Americas, Asia
Oz, Ire, Itl, 2nd Europe Americas

NZ group v Eng group so England need to win the group to not face NZ at the semi's.

Are you really surprised!!!

From an England perspective, on paper, that is pretty good! Got a couple of years to get a team together and the semis should easily be achieveable. Thats a tough call for Wales! Albeit, current form has nothing to do with where the teams will be come 2011...

IF Wales finish 2nd then really on the face of it they would face Oz...

Who do the winners of the 1/4's play?
i.e. WPoolA v RUPoolB will play who?

In the quarters, if England won their group then I guess we would be looking at France, if we were runners up then its NZ

For Wales, if they win their group they would be looking at Ireland I would think, if they were runner up it would be Australia

After that it becomes more complicated but there is a chance of a Wales v England semi...!
