I can see World Rugby is still up to their old tricks. I watched the draw for each group online and noticed that the teams were drawn from barrels that you could not see into. Not only that, but people reached into the barrels containing team names, and drew them out of this covered barrel by hand. Not a good look, why did they not have a machine tumbling the barrels, and then drawing the names automatically?
The structure of the tournament appears designed to allow host Australia to win. We have the ridiculous situation where New Zealand could play South Africa in the quarter-finals. Basically, the final at the quarters stage. I'm not going to be watching, what a farce. The way things are structured, both New Zealand and South Africa would be better off coming second in their groups. Make it make sense.
