You're all missing the really obvious result.
Japan are forced to withdraw from the World Cup due to a scandal involving whale harpooning, sumo wrestlers and wasabi. Hong Kong step up to take their place. First fixture: South Africa put a weakened side forwards and are tanked by the Hong Kong pack, totally dominating in the forwards but the result being a tight 3 point win. The rest of the group flows easily enough, asides for the United States who Hong Kong refuse to play against due to repeatedly having chinese take away orders shouted at them.
Into the finals, we have Australia. Since the large influx of Australians into Hong Kong in the 90s, many of them recognize each other. After discussing what a abomination taking the Lions to HK was before the Australia tour the Auzzies do the honourable thing and step aside.
New Zealand in the Semis is a tough affair. Hong Kong win yet again by insisting that England is AHEAD in the time zones rather than behind, causing all the Kiwis to miss the match completely.
And Ireland vs. Hong Kong final. The battle of the Ex-Colonies. Having spiked the Irish protein shakes with Chinese rice wine HK win by the narrowest of margins: 7-6.
If anyone disagrees that this is the obvious call, come at me.
