France v New Zealand looks like a mouthwatering tournament opener. Both sides should progress comfortably with Italy looking the strongest of the rest

Who’s your picks for places? World ranking currently say

  1. France
  2. New Zealand
  3. Italy
  4. Uruguay
  5. Namibia

Any potential upsets? Could see France losing the opener of the whole tournament. Could Italy pull off a France mugging off the back of that? Last fixture of the pool, and Italy have done it not so long ago in the 6n iirc

    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.

      New Zealand looks vulnerable, but I think NZ will turn it on once the world cup starts. Which is why I think NZ will finish first with France in second in Pool A
