Pool A of the 2015 Rugby World Cup began on 18 September and was completed on 10 October 2015.[1] The pool was composed of hosts England, as well as the third- and fourth-placed teams from 2011, Australia and Wales. They were joined by the Oceania qualifier, Fiji, and the repechage qualifier, Uruguay. The group was called the group of death, with four of the five teams in the top 10 of the World Rugby Rankings going into the tournament.[2] Australia and Wales qualified for the quarter-finals.[3]
