The Rugby World Cup starts in 8 days. Gonna be huge.
Pools:

Pool A
NZ
FRANCE
JAPAN
CANADA
TONGA

I'd expect NZ/France to get through, but Tonga could upset that applecart. I think Japan might get 2 wins, finish 3rd.

Pool B
ARGENTINA
ENGLAND
SCOTLAND
GEORGIA
ROMANIA

England to get through easily. 2nd will be Argentina, or maybe Scotland.

Pool C
AUSTRALIA
IRELAND
ITALY
RUSSIA
USA

The Wallabies to get some cricket scores in this pool, and finish up the top. Italy'd be my pick to join them (Ireland have struggled of late).

Pool D
SOUTH AFRICA
WALES
FIJI
SAMOA
NAMIBIA

South Africa and Wales. Samoa could possibly squeak in over the Welsh.

The South-Africans are called the Springboks iirc. Allez les bleus!

I'll only be cheering for two teams: primarily Australia (GO WALLABIES!), but also Japan (GANBARE BRAVE BLOSSOMS!)...

Dunno... they didn't look that convincing.

I think good odds are still to be had on Australia!
