Fordy is right to look nervous. Argentina, Japan, England is my bet.
Gonna go bold and say Argentina, Samoa ,England ,Japan. I think Japan and England are weaker then previous rwc squads which leaves the door open for Samoa if they can capitalize on it.
And Samoa are probably running with their strongest squad in probably a decade at least.
As funny as that would be, England should be plenty strong enough. Japan aren’t as good as last time round. I expect Argentina to win the group though
Japan seem to be on a down swing coming into this tournament, if Samoa get over them & Chile then they potentially only need a result against England or Argentina to go through. Its going to be a pool as interesting as C for sure. If England don't get their s%(t together and their heads go down after a loss to Argentina they could be vulnerable. Form coming in its pretty hard for me to see anyone other than Argentina topping this one but a disastrous run of cards in a game like 2019 would cost them.
