Fiji is number 1 tier 2 nation and ahead of what, like 4 other tier 1 countries. Love it
 
One of their teams has made it to 6 out of 8 finals..

England has been to more finals than SA..
Not as strong a point as you want it to be. For 2 of those cups there were basically only 2 teams from the South competing, Aus & NZ. Bokke only join in at the 3rd one and Argentina only started to develop in the last 10 years or so. Statistical, of course that would mean teams from Europe making the final (in the past that is).

False, they've been in 3 and won once. Bokke has also been in 3 and won all 3, twice against England nogal.
Mind you, every single cup final featured a team from the South.
 
eish, what’s up with my England, anyway congrats to Fiji, decent team that.

My point is Super sport/rugby pundits don't have to build the north up to boost their hopes, they been hopeful since 1987...

Not sure what you're saying.
Clearly, doesn't matter... enjoy the rugby...

 
Fact is World Rugby stuffed up the draw by doing it so early. That Wales, Australia and even England have a realistic chance of reaching the Semi Finals and thus the final, is a travesty for the sport as they have very poor teams.
