Pool A
New Zealand is dominating Pool A! They are my favorites for this tournament. I do not think there is a team that can match there offensive skills and defensive aggressiveness.

 Japan | 3 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 46 | 161 | 6 | 22 | 0 | 0 |
Pool B
Though England is in the lead, Pool B is still up for grabs. Both Argentina and Scotland both have strong sides and I cannot wait to see who comes out on top.

 Scotland | 3 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 61 | 43 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 10 |
 Georgia | 2 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 16 | 56 | 1 | 6 | 0 | 0 |
 Romania | 3 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 35 | 144 | 3 | 20 | 0 | 0 |
Pool C
The Irish have proven game after game why they have remained one of the best teams in the world. I cannot wait to see how they do in the elimination round. On a side not, the US has played hard and displayed why they belong in the rugby world cup.

Pool D This is another tight pool. Even though RSA won the cup last time around, I'm still not sure about them. If they take this pool I will have a bit more faith.
