Fiji To Get Tough Draw For 2011 RWC

The Fiji 15s rugby side is drawn in Band Three, when the pool draw for the 2011 Rugby World Cup is made tomorrow.

They have been placed with Scotland, Italy and Tonga while host New Zealand, defending champions South Africa, Australia and Argentina are in Band One.

Wales, England, France and Ireland were placed in Band Two.

This means Ilivasi Tabua's side, who finished the November internationals ranked 10th in the world, will have two of the world's top eight teams in their group.

The top four in the rankings - New Zealand, South Africa, Australia and Argentina - will be top seeds in each of the four pools in New Zealand.

The 2011 Pool draws will take place tomorrow morning in London. This is the first time that the IRB is using the ranking system in drawing the pools for the Rugby World Cup.
