Gonna go bold and say Argentina, Samoa ,England ,Japan. I think Japan and England are weaker then previous rwc squads which leaves the door open for Samoa if they can capitalize on it.
Japan seem to be on a down swing coming into this tournament, if Samoa get over them & Chile then they potentially only need a result against England or Argentina to go through. Its going to be a pool as interesting as C for sure. If England don’t get their s%(t together and their heads go down after a loss to Argentina they could be vulnerable. Form coming in its pretty hard for me to see anyone other than Argentina topping this one but a disastrous run of cards in a game like 2019 would cost them.
Fordy is right to look nervous. Argentina, Japan, England is my bet.

And Samoa are probably running with their strongest squad in probably a decade at least.
As funny as that would be, England should be plenty strong enough. Japan aren’t as good as last time round. I expect Argentina to win the group though
