Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Yep, when Biggar went off I was worried though.

Even if Scotland wouldn't reach the final (no one would have been expecting) they deserved the chance to get as far as their ranking suggests they should. England would have no chance in their group.

Definitely coming good at the right time.
Not sure I fancy Australia's chances of making the quarters.

I want Fiji to go through (doesn't everyone?) so Wales dealing with Australia makes that almost a certainty?

Yup, just been looking at the combinations and Fiji I think could still lose one game and still go through on the head-to-head with Australia. And I don't see them losing to Georgia or Portugal.

I accept all that's been said, all fair points, but every WC someone gets a shit pool.

Pool of death/doom is a cliche right?

Top level sport is incredibly cruel and athletes or teams deal with it.

I totally agree re Fiji.

You might argue they have a similar gripe to Scotland.

Aus have no answers to Wales do they

I think Fiji are technically lucky. They've improved and Wales have declined to the 5-8 range instead of the 4 rank they had when the draw was done.
