I've made some best possible and most likely squads for the upcoming World cup. And it seems most nations can provide A-Grade players without looking to the Kingstone Press, NSW cup or QLD cup. For World cups, personally i'd prefer to have a minimum of 4 players domestically selected for a nation, especially if this world cup turns into a flop, which i really doubt will happen. Anyway, with nations now having abit more depth, these seem to be possible upsets that loom
GROUP A
Australia vs England (I know there apart of the big 3 but England have only beaten Australia twice, ever.
France vs lebanese (not really an upset match cause it will go either way, just an incredibly intriguing game, do or die for france in my opinion)
GROUP B
Firstly looking at Tonga's Possible squad, its not as good as you'd think
NZL vs Scotland (no walker, aitken or galloway, there sqaud can still do it)
NZL vs Samoa (we all know how good samoa could be)
Tonga vs Samoa (tonga have stronger halves pairing)
GROUP C
I get feeling most people will tip PNG to beat Wales and Ireland, which is completely fair enough but dont be so sure. Ireland's best 17 has of the best spines and real mix of youth talent and experience. There best 17 come from NRL and Super League. No lower divisions. I'd like to say the same for Wales, but they just need more depth. Regan Grace and Morgan Knowles have been voted in the top 5 best young players of this super league season which shows the growth.
GROUP D
Fiji vs Italy (If both teams have full strength teams, will be a cracking contest, you'd put your money on Fiji, but you just never know)
Anyone else see anymore upsets happening?
