Irelands group is tough with teams like France and Italy but if they play like they did against Australia in the last world cup they should get out. England and Wales are in the same group which will be a massive tie in just the group stage. They’ll both be looking to finish ahead of Australia; this makes the group very intriguing. South Africa is favourites to top their group as other teams will fight for the second qualifying place. While in group C New Zealand and Argentina should finish 1st and 2nd in the group.
