Ah right, thought it was two.

It's going to be a fantastic competition. OK, we can predict three of the four semi finalists... but whereas only 3 nations have won the RLWC, and only 4 have taken part in a final, in union only 4 nations have won, and only 5 have played in a final. So, in the greater scheme of things, there's not much difference.

Draw comfort from France being the only nation to make the final and not win.. in either code.

There were decided months ago, the only two teams missing where the qualifiers and we knew which group the Euro qualifier would be in and which group the other qaulifier would be.

Yes, but the 2 teams which were missing have only just been confirmed, I think TS is just stating all of the teams who are taking part more than anything.
