You have to wonder how England would be playing if they'd picked Ireland's English coach?
Though of course he has a rugby league background, so maybe that's a step too far!

Drawing the pools based on 2020 rankings was tough on Scotland - ranked 5th going into the tournament they've had the 1st & 2nd ranked teams to play, so getting out of the pool was always going to be tough.

Ireland look ruthless: what was that 'red zone' stat last night - over 4 points for every visit to the Scots' 22? That's amazing.

South Africa's best hope of winning the tournament is to find a kicker - they can do everything else, so why hand your opponents half a dozen points each game?
