Namibia aren't even in the top 20, but they're still in the World Cup...

That means England Ireland and Wales will be in the 2011 RWC then cause they're always quite good in the World Cup. Originally Posted by Darksaviour69

they used to auto qualify, but now they have to qualify the other way. But every year (so far) the big 8 have always made it into the world cup (bar south Africa).
yeah there will be 12 auto-qualifying for 2011, but I think there might be more teams in it next time, total

They won't likely be anywhere for another 10 or so years, there might be a video of them playing online somewhere? Originally Posted by JPJunkie

new Zealand are thumping Portugal but Portugal playing bravely (they had no chance).
big match to day
Australia Vs Wales(2.00pm GMT), with wales playing at home (Cardiff). That should be a good game.
Later (8.00pm) Ireland plays Georgia, we need to really thump them to show we are on some sort of form
