Likely quarter-finalists
Pool A
Australia and Wales both on 13 points with a game to go. Have to favour Australia in their head to head.
Pool B
South Africa 11, Scotland 10 and Japan 8 all with a game to go.
South Africa should get bonus point vs USA and finish top.
Scotland should beat Samoa so likely 2nd.
Pool C
NZ 14 and Argentina 10 with a game to go each.
Pool D
France 14 and Ireland 10 but Ireland has two games to go. They are currently just ahead vs Italy though!
Assume France beats Ireland and Ireland beats Italy.
So the four QFs still look like:
- South Africa vs Wales
- NZ vs Ireland
- France vs Argentina
- Australia vs Scotland
