Wales.

It's easy to point and say France, because they've been appalling really, and only A bad kick by PNG has got them this far, but why did they have to try against NZ and Samoa? Arguably because they were at home, but once they'd beaten PNG, they were through. They were poor though.

Wales on the other hand, were facing a relatively raw Italy team, who may have beaten England the week before, but, what had played maybe 2-3 games as a team before then, if that.
USA, well they may have surprised everyone, but they have amateurs in their ranks, they really should of been beating them, in the kindest of respects to them and I thought the Cook Islands were very unlucky, they had a great attack but a trouble defence, and i thought that cost them. They were unlucky against Tonga too.

But i believe if France would have been in group D, and not Wales, they certainly would not of finished bottom, and for that reason, Wales are the biggest disappointment.
I wouldn't say Tonga, because I felt Scotland shocked a lot of people, and on another night, were Tonga were unlucky, they could have been, and that 2 point margin, could easily have been in their favour.

1. Wales
2. France
3. PNG

tonga won 2 games! a bad first 40mins against scotland was their undoing.

1) Wales - the draw was setup for them to get to the Q/Final and they didn't
2) PNG - not the standard of previous touring sides
3) France - very poor on Monday. Excellent crowd/atmosphere and they didn't perform.

PNG-disappointing regardless if they cant travel wel

wales-funnily enough I didn't think they would win a game

as for france, yes they won only one game by one point, but they didn't ask the organisers to make sure the top 3 from group a and b progressed, next time there should be a play off between the 3rd place teams and the runners up of the 3 team groups and winners progress to the QF

France are pathetic...with all those Matalan Dragon players, and they still rubbish.
Ireland/Wales without hardly any SL/NRL players did not under perform.
France, maybe WE could help them, by having 4 teams in the European Sooper Dooper League. What a load of %^&$ !!!
Hope We put 70 points past them Toads !!!!!

Wales for me. Simple. I liked the look of their squad on paper, and even if nothing else they should have beaten the Cooks. Their no-show against the USA was diabolical.
