With eight out of ten matches played in each pool, and two more matches cancelled due to the typhoon, we have:
Qualified: New Zealand (winner, Pool B), South Africa (runner up, Pool B), England (winner, Pool C), France (runner up, Pool C), Wales (winner or runner up, Pool D), Australia (winner or runner up, Pool D).
Eliminated: Samoa, Russia, Italy (qualified for 2023), Namibia, Canada, Argentina (qualified for 2023), Tonga, United States, Fiji (may qualify for 2023), Georgia (may qualify for 2023), Uruguay (may qualify for 2023).
Still to be resolved: Japan, Ireland, Scotland.
The main remaining drama is in Pool A, where we don't yet know which two teams (out of Japan, Ireland, and Scotland) will advance, and which will be eliminated but qualify for 2023.
Pool B - only thing remaining is to determine who is fourth and who is fifth.
Pool C - only thing remaining is to determine who is fourth and who is fifth.
Pool D - we know that Wales and Australia will advance, but we don't know who will be the winner and who will be the runner up. The three remaining teams (Fiji, Georgia, and Uruguay) all have a chance to come in third and qualify for 2023, but that might change tomorrow.
They call me Mr Celsius!
