    The long and short of it sees an incredibly tough road ahead for the Wallaroo's, though to be the best you need to beat the best.
    Australia will need to either beat 1. New Zealand, 6. Wales & 12. South Africa to top their Pool or be the highest scoring second placed team.
    When you see the other Pools, especially Pool C, it is hard to see the high scores coming in Pool A.
    So, it would seem that five consecutive wins are the go, too easy...
    Go get 'em girls!

    Slightly odd choice of venues - The Stoop is a great ground and holds ~15,000. (If they re-did MES to a larger version of the Stoop, I'd be happy!)

    But I've played at Surrey Sports Park, and they've got a few pitches, but none with any stands. The dedicated rugby pitch they have can't have stands put up, unless they cut down a few trees.

    The Madjeski Stadium would be a far better choice as second venue (or even main - it holds ~24,000). It's a proper rugby stadium (it's London Irish's home) and the owner could do with the income as his soccer team got relegated.
