@JDelage it’s an incredible match to kickstart the tournament. They could meet again in final, although South Africa might have something to say about that unfortunately.

Not holding out much hope for the ‘home nations’.
Ireland (and Scotland) have it all to do on their side of the draw (along with France, NZ and SAf); England and Wales might stumble on to a reasonable outcome, but only through a lack of competitive opponents on their side (even Aus are seemingly out of form). They (England and Wales) could just as easily slip up against a so-called ‘lesser’ nation.
Heart says NZ - head says SAf.

@Nocturama I still can’t get my head round the draw being made 3 years ago. It’s so lopsided having Ireland, NZ, SA, France and Scotland in the same half.

Boom! France had a decisive win over NZ!

Well this is awkward…

Went to England v Wales at Twickenham yesterday, and recovered today by watching the Ireland v Italy game…
