Standings after Dubai:

1. South Africa 22
2. Fiji 19
3. England 17
4. Wales 15
5. Australia 13
6. Scotland 12
7= France 10
7= New Zealand 10

Pools for Cape Town:

Pool A: South Africa, Australia, USA, Russia
Pool B: Fiji, France, Kenya, Japan
Pool C: England, New Zealand, Argentina, Canada
Pool D: Wales, Scotland, Samoa, Uganda

I'm not liking the look of Pool C, Argentina were damned unlucky not to be in the Cup draw in Dubai & England looked scary good until they ran out of puff.

I agree totally.
If they didn't list pools from 1-4, I'd struggle to seed each pool correctly.
3 and 4 in your pool is far from a human bye as it was,only a few years ago.
Having said that,I think Fiji drew a slightly easier pool this week,with the rest pretty even.

Easy pools and "easy" pools.

Reckon all the pool D teams would be reasonably happy.

Japan would be happy with B, even with Fiji there, the other two are winnable.

A and C are a little more difficult, what with the top 3 teams in both having finished top 6 at least 1 of the past 2 seasons.

^^^^^^^^ first hour or so on 507 (Red button) then 502 from ~8 AEDT. Scotland & Samoa first up, hence no doubt @H35's excitement. Jocks off to a poor start, tho, Samoa 12-0 with HT up but Scotland in possession.

EDIT: Scots score 2min into extra time, HT Samoa 12-7 Scotland.

Weird seeing SGT wearing someone else's colours, even if he's just in the stands & not yet officially Samoa's coach (debut tournament is Wellywood, I think).

Scotland level up as the siren sounds for FT, looked like a different team to the first 7 (+2). Sideline conversion is good, Scotland 21-19 Samoa.

That was sooooooooooooo much more difficult than it should have been.

Can no Scottish team take restarts well? National side, Sevens side, Edinburgh and Glasgow are all well below average, and if Scotland A played with any sort of regularity, they'd be crap at them too.

Poor skill level shown by the Aussies inthis game. Some poor decision making.
