Not familiar with the sport much at all, but looked at the Wikipedia page for the World Cup.

WTF is up with the groups of different sizes? Seems like a really goofy-ass way to run a tournament.

Also strange is that two of the four teams that are 25/1 or less for the tournament are in Group A, and the other two in Group B (Tonga are apparently good). After that it's Samoa at 100/1, Fiji 200/1 and Papua New Guinea (!) at 250/1.

By contrast the ninth favourite for the 2019 Rugby Union World Cup are 66/1.

Only started watching around twenty minutes in, that was fun.

I don't watch much league but that was a great game. I was expecting England to get hammered but we actually looked like the better team in most areas, with the vital exception of not being able to finish in the last 20.

the attacking by both sides wasn't great (though england's was obviously far worse), but apart from that it was a great game. no one for australia played particularly well, it really was a huge chance gone begging.
