Rugby World Cup 2011 Pools Announced

The Rugby World Cup 2011 Pool Allocation Draw took place inside a very unique venue, Tourism New Zealand's 'Giant Rugby Ball' facility in the heart of London on Monday.

Defending champions South Africa find themselves in arguably the toughest pool, where they will face Fiji, the side who nearly derailed their charge to the title in 2007, and Wales, the 2008 Six Nations champions.

Tournament hosts New Zealand will be looking to avenge their RWC 2007 quarter final exit at the hands of France when the sides meet in Pool A, while England will meet long time rivals Scotland for the first time in the pool stages.

Australia, the Rugby World Cup champions in 1991 and 1999, will face three European teams in Pool C, headed by Ireland and Italy.

The US is in group C with Ireland and the Aussies so they won't advance. Italy will be a tough match but it's winnable. Still waiting to see who will be the last team in the group.

I was at the US/Uruguay match and the US looked good in the open game but they still need to work on their rucks and mauls, the scrums were about even.
