Was that draw only made?

Was that draw only made?

The draw for the groups was made months ago but the dates of the games was only published today.

[screenexile]

Pretty good group for us if we don't f**K up again!

[GalwayBayBoy]

Ireland have group games in Auckland in the north of the north island and Dunedin in the south of the south island. Fair bit of travelling there.

[muppet]

At least we don't play Argentina!

After that it always seems to be either France or Australia.

England will be worried though.
