Rugby World Cup 2019

Game. On.

I’m glad about that
The Scots have to put up or shut up.
the basic permutation is Scotland have to win by more than 7 points. It will be tricky in Japan.

We'll also go through if we win and neither side gets bonus points.

Scotland are under the cosh. 7 points down needing to win by 7.

Scotland can’t come back from this. Japan are awesome.
they will top the group above Ireland.

Great game. Thoroughly enjoyed that. Thought Scotland looked good in the second half at times, but they were still a bit keen to kick the ball away. But no denying Japan. Neither the Ireland or Scotland wins were flukes, and when the Japanese scrum-half looks back at the recording and realises there are times when he needs to get the ball out quicker they'll be even better. Shame they won't get much proper competition between world cups.

 

[AndyRM]

What a game! Japan were unreal in the first half especially.

BBC are reporting possible legal action by Scotland if the game can’t be rescheduled.

Scotland threaten legal action against World Rugby for being forced to humiliate themselves against Japan

Have we set our alarms for the 8.15 am kick off?

I have England, NZ and Johnson down for wins today, the biggest losers will be the UK....

 

[AndyRM]

I wonder if Australia will need a massive favour off the referee in the last minute to get through this quarter final?

Anyway, I think the Southern Hemisphere will prevail today. Tomorrow is much harder to call I think.

Watching the build up and Eddie Jones looks more nervous than his players.

I really wish ITV would stop going on about possession like it meant something in rugby.

It’s like they’re possessed....

Very evenly balanced at half time. One lucky interception is the difference.
England need to sort the scrum out, the ref is not doing us any favours.
