Pool C of the 2015 Rugby World Cup began on 19 September and was completed on 11 October 2015.[1] The pool was composed of New Zealand (the title holders), Argentina and Tonga – who all qualified automatically for the tournament due to finishing in the top three positions in their pools in 2011 – along with the top European qualifier, Georgia, and the top African qualifier, Namibia.
