Just to reiterate the idiocy of seeding three years in advance, the world number 1, 2 & 6 are now in the same group.

Another group has no one higher than 7.

Surely doing it, say, a year out wouldn't be a problem??

It wouldn’t avoid problems completely, but they’d be less likely.

Such a busy time I'd forgotten completely about the Final Qualification Tournament in Dubai

USA 68 - 14 Kenya
Portugal 42 - 14 Hong Kong

Portugal 85 - 0 Kenya
USA 49 - 0 Hong Kong

Whoever wins the meeting between Portugal and USA next Friday will secure the 20th and last remaining ticket to RWC 2023, and their place in Pool C.
