I think you're seriously underestimating the effect the hermit crab quota will have on a team of very gifted Crab Nebula players, meaning that more talented typical side to sidepincer snipping crab may lose out to another crustacean based mearly on intergalactic politics

 

[SelimNiai]

And I think youre underestimating the flag actually being Vanuatu's. Meaning my joke ultimately fails.

I've decided to be offended by that.
And now stand for the national anthem

 

[SelimNiai]

So basically we've surmised that the final of the RWC 2016 will be between the Crab People of the Crab Nebula and Vanuatu.

You dont get this level of punditry in Rugby World Magazine

Ah, but aren't they debating whether Japan should be a top seed as hosts? If so you could have NZ, Aus, Argentina, Italy, Tonga in one 'group of death'.

For me the most likely surprises may be Japan reaching the quarter finals and Argentina missing out.
