RLWC 2021 in England.

Other automatic qualifiers (QFs in 2017) were Australia, Fiji, Tonga, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, and Lebanon.

France and Wales had also qualified by finishing top 2 in last year's European Championship. Europe's final 4 places will go to 2 of Ireland/Italy/Spain (the Irish won 42-8 in Madrid yesterday) and 2 of Greece/Scotland/Serbia.

Rather embarrassingly for the organisers Jamaica topped American qualifying ahead of USA/Canada/Chile. Remaining place goes to winner of repechage final USA v Cook Islands (who smashed South Africa in repechage SF).

Scotland qualified last weekend, as did Ireland and Italy due to Spain losing their 2nd game. Greece beat Serbia today to qualify for first time.

USA v Cook Islands next weekend.


In touring:

Fiji 22-20 Papua New Guinea
New Zealand 23-8 Great Britain

(both in Christchurch)

KIngs were much worse last week than Zebre this - Ospreays must be really poor. 
Agreed. Zebre were better defensively and Glasgow had to work hard to keep them out a few times, last week you never felt the Kings were going to score.

Here's Glasgow's table after 6 games, can't see them closing a 14 point gap to Leinster, would take second spot in an instant just now.

Brian Moore driving a big hole though Saracen's claim that the co-investments are all about player welfare to help set them up for life after they retire. He asks the pertinent question, why are the highest paid players the ones who are getting the extra assistance, when they are the ones least likely to need it?
