It’s anyone’s guess who will be top of the pile in Pool A, although Ireland or Samoa seem likely winners on past form.

The winners in Pool B will probably be either New Zealand or South Africa, depending on the players who are match fit.

It’s very unlikely that the USA will be top of the heap in Pool C, and the money will most likely be on either England or their old enemy, France.

Undoubtedly the favorite to win in Pool D will be Australia, although Wales might just snatch the top place.
