RWC 2027 Australia

There'd be a lot of empty seats at Optus Stadium for Australia vs Hong Kong China or Chile

Optus will host the NZ game but you’d think Sydney will host one of our pool games likely Homebush

 

[Major Tom]

The northern hemisphere teams will request to only play in one city because of travel demands

NZ in the pool, and either SA or Eng in the QF that’s a pretty dreadful draw for us

 

[Mr Pilfer]

I disagree I think this is a good draw. We are actually better off losing to NZ and finishing second than finishing top.

You need to be playing against a strong team by the time you get to a quarter final otherwise you will be underdone.

Eg springboks could be going in to a quarter against NZ without being challenged at all

We either play the best team or on form the second best team in the QF it’s not a good draw
