A lot of things are going on in this competition that I find very exciting. France and England both have a winning streak in this competition. They meet on the final day. England's last loss was the world cup final so it will be a huge win for France if they do it.
The third place of this competition will qualify for the 2025 England world cup. With the upcoming match ups I'm strongly behind Italy getting the spot. It is such a tight race though.
I am doing the predictor on the world rugby site. I think I will have to factor in the heat bit more. Both sides tired but France seemed like they were gonna fall out
For them It's not a bad bet to have more forwards than backs. For the boks I would feel secure slotting a forward into a back position of need be vs the other way.
In terms of how the actual match played out, the bench wasn't a big impact.
I'm all for the S.A. repeat personally. I do want a Scotland upset very badly.
New Zealand should top the pool. France second. I think it would be hard for NZ not to get the most tries scored of the tourney.
I really need to delve into the roster now. The England team seems like a weird Frankenstein with a solid body but the wrong brain popped in. I've been getting a throw things at the wall feeling lately.
