England rugby fans will undoubtedly be pleased with the draw that they had which includes Japan and Argentina. The main thing for the men in white, is that they will avoid South Africa and New Zealand in the quarters and semi-finals of the tournament.
That’s nigh nights to Scotland with that draw!! England with a tidy draw should see us win the group comfortably!

There is an unwritten rugby law that Wales, Australia & Fiji must be drawn together in the World Cup. I make that 4 of the last 5 tournaments with Wales & Fiji also together in 2011 😂
Eddie Jones will be absolutely delighted with England’s draw…

French fans, on the other hand, may be concerned as they were drawn with New Zealand, probably the best rugby side on the planet.
There was nervous excitement during the draw when both names were pulled together.
France have come on leaps and bounds in the past year or so under a new coaching set up. Could they beat the All Blacks again?
