The Rugby World Cup’s closest thing to a group of death features Scotland facing a huge task pitched alongside Ireland and South Africa

The pool of death. Ordered by current world ranking:

  1. Ireland
  2. South Africa
  3. Scotland
  4. Tonga
  5. Romania

As a Scot I feel I’ve been done dirty. Can’t see us escaping the group, but all 3 games at the top will be tasty to watch for sure. Anyone brave enough to call Ireland vs South Africa yet?

    Genuinely rooting for the Scots on this one.

    Ireland are on the downswing, SA are the top tier thread, no Pacific island nation can be truly written off, and Romania are good but not world tier good just now.

    I reckon if Scotland get out of this group, they’ll be well placed for a top 4 finish.
