England and Wales can't meet until the semi-final. Looks like England should easily win their group, The hardest group on paper is Wales', South Africa first game, then Fiji and looks like Samoa. Scotland need to concentrate on beating Argentina, whilst Ireland will go through quite comfortably.

Think Argentina might have a thing or two to say about England "easily" winning their group.

edited cos after 3.5 years away, I can no longer spell England

Unhappiness, where's when I was young
And we didn't give a damn
'Cause we were raised
To see life as a fun and take it if we can

I think Scotland have got out of their group in every RWC as well.

France or New Zealand in the QF, even assuming England get out of the group.
