August was the month for the participating countries World Championship of Rugby, one of the games of Preparation. And while the true measure of teams will of course be seen after September 8th, the truth is that some of the most popular theorists have not performed particularly well this month, which is calming for their followers.
EnglandAbove all, he contributed to forgetting in a preparatory phase: he began to lose to Storms (20-9), who is not in the front row of the World Championship contenders. He got his revenge a week later with some difficulties (19-17), but after that he suffered two famous defeats: against Ireland (29-10), and against Fiji (22-30). As an auction, they cannot rely on their captain, Owen Farrell, in the debut before Argentina and in further games after a controversial sequence of events: expelled Because of an irregular tackle against Wales, the independent Disciplinary Committee that assessed the case decided not to impose a sanction, unlike other players on similar occasions. After an appeal, World Rugby has been suspended for two games.
Australia He has only played two games and failed to win one: 23-20 against New Zealand and 41-17 against France. In addition, he lost his three games in July’s rugby championship against South Africa (43-12), Argentina (31-34), and New Zealand (7-38). In other words, the Wallabies, who will take a relatively young team to the World Cup, will do so this year without winning a game.
France, whose favoritism is reinforced by their host status, started with a loss to Scotland (25-21), but with a young and “experimental” team. Then it went on: 30-27 against Scotland again, 34-17 against Fiji, and 41-17 against Australia. Fabien Galthieu, the French coach, can face the World Cup with confidence.

The All Blacks had only played each other in Australia (23-20).
Ireland, another World Cup favorite, counted his three games as wins: 33-17 Italy29-10a England and 17-13 before Samoa. In this game, the veteran Pilier Cian was injured while adding his “Cap” number 125. A noticeable drop for Andy’s team, Farrell.
Argentina famously played his last game and scored a long-awaited win against Space (3-62) after narrowly losing to South Africa (22-21).
Scotland, who will be in the second row of the World Cup but has improved in recent editions of the VI Nations, has defeated Italy in the preparatory phase (26-14 and 25-13), the aforementioned triumph and brief defeat against France (25-21 and 27-30), and finished 33-6 against Georgia. Italy, in addition to defeats against Scotland and Ireland, won 57-7 against Romania and 42-21 against the Japanese.
Fiji, one of the surprise contenders, added wins against England to the side of beating England and losing to France, Tonga (36-20), Samoa (19-33) and the Japanese (12-35). The Japanese, who did a good job as hosts in 2019, also struck Tonga (21–16) and loaned it to Samoa (22–24), which in turn defeated barbarians. The Tongans added two wins over Canada (28-3 and 36-12), who will not participate in the World Championship.
In other accidents, Chile’s rookie team in the World Cup lost 13-40 against Argentina XV and 26-28 against Namibia. Uruguay defeated the Namibians 26-18 and Argentina XV 33-13. On the European side, in addition to the shocks mentioned Georgia wreaths 56-6 a Romania and 10pm-7am EU. Portugal surpassed the Americans by 46:20 but lost by 17:30 Australia’s A.
