2016.. it was a long time.
We will see but I think those 4 have an easier root
Chile has little chance of going through because of the Australia and New Zealand matches...
USA, Tonga, Georgia and Spain have the best chances. Maybe Uruguay.
ARGENTINA, FIJI AND CANADA FOR Spain
IRELAND, SCOTLAND AND URUGUAY FOR Portugal
SPRINGBOKS AND ITALY FOR Georgia and Romania
Lovely
Let's go!๐
Good luck with the draw ๐ฒ
Would love if...
๐ต๐นplayed the Springboks or France and Spain
๐ช๐ธ vs Wales and/Springboks
Chile vs Argentina
Uruguay and Romania so the feud would go on
Zimbabwe vs Springboks
I know that not every combo is possible but these are my picks
Yesterday, we bade farewell to one of the greatest ever players to play for the Stejarii: Florin Surugiu ๐ต๐ก๐ด

It shows how good is the URC.

The result isn't that bad when you consider that 50% of the Irish team has a shot to become part of AF's squad.
Thank you!
While the Eagles came out short, I did enjoy how they countered Georgia in the 1st half
But, by far, the team that impressed me the most was Romania
After a dantesc July, they bounced back and played well against Canada

The bench replacements didn't anything to the game and were easily snuffed out.
But there are several miscasts starting with Guillard.
For all the respect I have for Galthiรฉ he needs to stop with wanting to give player A/B a lesson.
Whilst acknowledging that the Boks are by far one of the best teams of the past 40 years, it is almost unexplainable that France's final 20 minutes ๐ตโช๐ด
Ramos was immense, and so was Jelonch, Ntamack and Penaud ๐ซ๐ท

As for Belgium, they will begin their FQT campaign against Namibia
Tough, tough match, but they have enough firepower to create something special
Toulouse's Matias Remue to feature as 10, whilst Rugby Club Vannes Berguet and Decubber are in the pack
No Jens Torfs, though
As for the Lelos, they are clearly favourites in their match against the Eagles ๐ฆ
The duo Lobz-Abzh is back, but the leading player is undoubtedly Davit Niniashvili
Bristol Bears Luka Ivanishvili is in the starting line-up
