France will dominate. I'd love for the Pumas to get up and defeat Ireland.

I can't see France dropping a game to either Ireland or Argentina in the group stages of this World Cup, especially if they play most of their 1st XV.

This is such an awful draw. France, Ireland, & Argentina are all ranked above Scotland, Wales & ourselves and yet one's going home before the quarters.

I'll actually take France (boo, hiss) & Ireland despite Argentina beating Ireland 2-0 in the series over these last two weekends. Rather like ourselves it was very much a second or third choice Ireland.

True though, but aren't Argentina are tough mob at home and I don't think many teams like going there.

Playing Argentina in Buenis Aries (sp) is like playing the Bulls at Loftus Versfield, one of the toughest asks in rugby.
