Warming up to the idea of going there for a week.
Lots of Space between the Ireland and the Japan Game. Will Play off 1 be Samoa?

4 day turnaround between Europe 1 and Japan.

Would prefer to have Ireland last

we should be able to beat Georgia / Romania, with our B Team and a few good replacements off the bench.

So...second seeds and we still get shafted with a 4 day turnaround?

Looks like Japan, as hosts, have got the favourable draw in our group. They have been treated harshly in the past so have sympathy.

Won’t be Georgia, though. They qualified i. group d, along with Wales, Australia and Fiji.

I think we could be getting Samoa in our pot.
