"Welcome, one and all, to The Shadow Republic of Snake Eaters, and to the 8th Rugby Union World Cup! It is our pleasure to see so many teams from so many corners of the planet arriving in our humble nation to play a sport that is forever associated with honour, creed and above all, a high standard of sportsmanship.
With the pools already announced, and the teams on their way, we extend our hospitality to all those who wish it. One final note before we begin, however.
As Lord-President, I have seen many things. I have seen war, I have seen peace. But in rugby, even if you loose, take it gracefully. You are here not only to fight over the trophy, but to enjoy yourselves. And of course, may the best team win!"
That was Lord-President Barbarossa's opening address to the assembled nations for the Rugby World Cup here in Snake Eaters. As all will now know, there are two main stadiums in Snake Eaters hosting World Cup games. The first (http://www.sixtiescity.com/Events/Images/wembley.jpg), here in Cinigrad, will host games from both Group A and B, on alternate days of course. The second (http://www.st-vincents-toronto-gaa.com/images/2002%20Season/Croke_Park_c.jpg), further down the coast in Oured, will host games from Groups C and D, both of which are slightly smaller groups, but by no means any less in calibre. The final, scheduled for a few weeks from now, will take place in Snake City itself, in the Helghast Memorial Stadium (http://www.compuserve.co.uk/channels/sport/rugby/five_nations/structure_images/twickenham.jpg).
For those of you have forgotten, here are the pools once more:
POOL A
Snake Eaters
Milchama
Quakmybush
Kelssek
San Monticaz
POOL B
Bazalonia
Az-cz
Alexandrian Ptolemais
Druida
POOL C
Quintessence of Dust
Harlesburg
Rorysville
South Adrea
POOL D
Independent Hitmen
Lovisa

Artitsa
All teams will play all other teams in their pool TWICE before the finals. Should it be a draw on actual points, points for and against will be taken into account.
In the semi finals, the winners from each pool will be taken, as will the runners-up. The order will be as follows:
Winner A v Winner C
Winner B v Winner D
Runner-up A v Runner-up C
Runner-up B v Runner-up D
Further announcements will be made when appropiate.
