World Cup prediction time.France to beat South Africa in the final, should be close but home advantage might swing it for Les Bleus.Ireland to go out in the quarter finals, and still not have made a World Cup semi-final.England to go as far as (if not further than) Ireland in the tournament.
England and Wales won't make it out of their pool, that's my prediction.
Does anyone know if there’s a logic as to why the draw is so far in advance of the tournament? It’s so weird and had left it open to this lopsided draw.

They needed to know what teams would be where and as early as possible. That's what Beaumont said anyway, but he's acknowledged its a disaster now and they're looking at ways to have the draw as late as possible for the next one.

What happened there to the French national anthem?
