Draw for the men's, women's and wheelchair world cups has been made.
In the men's event groups
England have drawn Samoa, France and Greece
Scotland have drawn Australia, Fiji and Italy
Wales have drawn Tonga, Papua New Guinea and the Cook Islands.
Ireland have NZ, Lebanon and Jamaica.
I would expect England, Australia and NZ to win their respective groups with relative ease. Not so straight forward for Wales their result against the Kumuls of PNG will probably decide the group.
Ladies draw
Group A England, Brazil, Papua New Guinea and Canada
Group B, Australia, New Zealand, France and the Cook Islands.
Wheelchair draw
Group A England, Australia, Spain and Norway
Group B France, Wales, Scotland and the USA
