[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 541303, member: 39190"] yeah, pools A & B are ridiculously strong compared to C & D. Though England, France, Aus and SA all had games to forget about after the weekend these pools hardly reflect the different teams' capabilities. At the same time I can't help feeling it adds a little edge to proceedings and is a fit 'reward' to teams like Canada and Portugal for their fantastic efforts in the previous games. It only means SA, England and the like will have to get up and show what they are made of again to take their 'rightful' place back. Current points; 1. New Zealand 38 2. Fiji 32 2. Kenya 32 2. Samoa 32 5. France 27 6. South Africa 24 7. Argentina 21 8. Wales 18 9. Canada 17 10. Australia 11 10. Portugal 11 12. England 10 12. Spain 10 A: Samoa, France, South Africa, Australia (94 points together) B: New Zealand, Fiji, England, Scotland (80 points + Scotland) C: Kenya, Argentina, Wales, Spain (89 points) D: Portugal, Canada, USA, Zimbabwe (28 points + USA and Zim) [/QUOTE]
