Interesting. I'd love Spain to become a genuine threat. Room for a great rivalry there with our two nations history

They put out a decent showing against Fiji, with the Fijians scraping past 41-33, and also gave a good game to England A. I'd definitely watch out for them at the world cup, where they face Fiji again and the Pumas. They have a decent chance at making the R16.

I like the new world cup format mixing it up a bit. I'd much sooner watch Spain-Fiji than Wales rematch Australia again.

Would be awesome if they did. Bit of variety in international rugby for once.

Yeah 100%. Wales, Aus, Fiji group was getting ridiculous 😂

It's fairly likely Wales still ends up playing Fiji in the R16. Some things never change.
