Pool C
With England, France and 2015 semi-finalists Argentina in the group, Pool C is perhaps the toughest of the four sections. And with Americas 1 qualifiers the United States and Oceania 2 representatives Tonga in the pool it is understandably being dubbed a group of death.
France and Argentina get proceedings in the pool off to a thrilling start on 21 September at Tokyo Stadium.
