[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 866548, member: 74121"] A mixed bag of fixtures. I do not understand why two years running Japan plays a Pacific Island side on the other side of the world. Why not in Japan and then fly to Europe together? It is not as if a French crowd will make more money than a Japanese crowd. It should be very entertaining though. I think you are physical enough to disrupt the Japanese play as I was shocked the way Fiji controlled them in November (after Japan had won in Georgia). Tonga vs Romania should be great and very close. English Barbarians. I don't even know what that is. Is that a new thing? Hopefully it is a money spinner but there is something badly wrong that arguably worst peforming Samoan side of recent years (ranked 16th) plays the first teams of both Scotland and England, whilst the best Tonga side in recent years (ranked higher) does not get a Tier1 contest. I suppose at least you had Wales in June, but still, you can consider yourself unfortunate. I think your coach has a good assessment of your RWC opponents. France and Argentina will be heavy favourites but I think you can give them a hell of a fright if they don't improve in the next 2 years. [/QUOTE]
