Agreed. Even football world cup has blow outs when someone like New Zealand get there. And there's loads in the RU version. I genuinely feared England would go out in the Quarters due to the strength of Samoa and Tonga. That's never been the case before. PNG will give us a real game on Saturday
Yeh, the good thing about the WC is that there is now more than 3 teams.
Tonga, Samoa, PNG will all give the big guns a game.
Most of the QF's will be competitive, not been like that for years.
But unfortunately the other 8 teams or so are making up the numbers.
And very disappointing that England are the only European team in the QF's.
Wales, Scotland, Ireland and France need to try to catch up with the likes of Tonga, Samoa, PNG & Fiji.
