And seeing as you like to troll – seem to remember Wales cheating to win one of those………zzzzzzzzzzzz

Australia more likely to have to play two “away games ” and england home for them all fair play it is their World cup .

As Roger Lewis puts it..

“I think they [England] would embrace the opportunity to play in the finest rugby stadium in the world”

Im sure thats exactly how England see it! :)

Number of Irish semi final WC appearances? Number of Irish wins when it mattered? 0. Yet again you feel the need to dig into the welsh because your team can’t beat them.

I wasn’t making excuses. I am very excited by this WC draw. Can’t wait for it.

You’d jump at a Samoa or Scotland QF and a France/Ireland/Italy/Argentina/Tonga SF.

Already bloody excited.

p.s. the Lions are in 6 months! GET OVER TO AUSTRALIA!

Add to that that both Eng and Wales will probably have home advantage…then yes I do think its a possibility. Nothing can be considered likely 3 yrs out though.
