    Those Baywatch girls look remarkably like The Dictator's bodyguards.

    Based on the 2011 format:

    If we come second in our pool, we will almost certainly face off against New Zealand in the semi-final (unless their lose their QF against either France or Ireland). We would also have to face South Africa in the quarters. It would be a bit like last year.

    If we come first we are most likely to play either Samoa or Scotland in the quarter final and France, Ireland or Argentina in the semi.

    We would of course first need to make it out of our pool. Fiji may be a blessing in disguise. They are likely to put a bit of pressure on Wales. In a worst case scenario where we lose to both England and Wales, we would still qualify IF Wales lose to both England and Fiji and have less bonus points than we do. Although on current try scoring form I don't see that happening.

    I reckon Scotland are the dark horse for 2015. All we need is a coach, some good players, some tactics and a plan that goes beyond the next 4 days. Bring it on

    Not really, look at 2007. Realistically, it you are going to be the best you need to avoid the best and our chances in 2015 just took an absolute caning. We'd need to win two out of three in the pool, then three finals. So, in practical terms, we'd need to get past three tough matches in the pools, then take a pummelling from Samoa in the quarters (anyone see the match against Wales a couple of weeks ago?), then knock off the top two in the world. A couple of stumbles and it's four more years.

    It highlights what a lottery the RWC can be. Even say we had a 70% chance of beating each of our pool opponents, then a 60% chance against each of the finalists - that's a 1 in 6 chance of taking it out. Anyone reckon our chances are that good against the opposition in our draw?

    It is very, very simple. Beat whoever it is you are playing against.
