Well it’s getting plenty of coverage this morning, for whatever reason that is it can only be a good thing

I suppose, by good luck (definitely not good management), RL will do quite well out of this.
The fact that, hosting the draw, is the first thing that Harry has done since he asked for a "separation" from the Royal Family, the press and media will be all over this.
Every cloud...………….

Instead of getting onto TV like Football do with every Euros/World Cup Draw, we've gone for a Facebook page you already have to be a fan on pretty much to watch. How are we supposed to draw new fans in when we can't even convince the BBC to move Bargain Hunt for 1 day?

Cuillère en bois pour les français?

Welshies are gonna have some fun getting smashed around by the Pacific Islanders as well.

i watched it on the bbc sport website and very professional it was too. you didn't need to be a big fan to watch it there as it was pretty much accessible

Very professional, with underlying errors. Robinson being asked about England v France in the Men's and then he went on about getting a big crowd at St James' Park for it, when in fact the Samoa game will be the 1st game. Woods forgetting that Lebanon needed to be brought back into the draw etc.

However, the casual viewers, new fans etc. won't have noticed that, and the mental health VT shown with Harry endorsing it was really good

Group D with Tonga, PNG, Wales and the Cook Islands looks the most interesting and let's hope we can sell out the fixtures and then build on the success of the tournament.

Do we know all the grounds now (apart from the England ones)? Or are they allocated later?

I'm looking forward to the games at the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio and the game between the Hedges of Sanford Stadium in Athens, Georgia.
