Scotland taking World rugby to court sueing for the embarassment caused having being beaten by the hosts

Sky_Blue_Dreamer · Oct 14, 2019

Or World Rugby taking Scotland to court for misrepresentation, as they claimed they were a rugby team

Gazolba · Oct 14, 2019

It's great that they are holding this tournament in Japan as they obviously have a passion for the sport.
I love that their support seems to be family oriented with men, women and children enjoying it.
I wonder if they will ever hold the tournament in Argentina?

I see what you did there! Yep, Japan is in the Orient!

England beating the Aussies, got close at the start of the second half when there was one point in it, but England picked up and controlled it.

There's nothing better than thrashing the aussies first thing in the morning!

Wyken Sky Blue · Oct 19, 2019

Not a massive fan of Rugby but watched the game this morning.

Surprisingly enjoyable and England were a credit to the cou try.

I'm sure Australia could've done better though, they gave away at least two tries and could've been a different game if that didn't happen.

Is that a euphemism....?

Mcbean · Oct 19, 2019

Sadly looks like the final will be in the semis

Houchens Head · Oct 19, 2019

Bloody All Blacks!

scottccfc · Oct 19, 2019

Ireland proved today in the last 20 that the all blacks are vulnerable just a shame the first 60.was so devastating

I won't write Ireland off yet!

Now or still too soon?

I think it is a case of too soon to write off England now tbh. However, I am not convinced we have enough to best them.

England v Aussies quarter final. Going to be a cracker. I said Japan may cause some shocks. Still wide open though, but surely the All Blacks are the team to beat still ?

Thought England had it rather easy today - but can only beat what is in front of them. Australia just did a Cov & kept playing into England's hands.

NZ will be a different kettle of fish entirely. We can plan for what game they start off with, but they can & will adapt throughout the game to whatever we might throw at them.

NZ win in the versatility stakes, we will have to be at the top of our game & hope they aren't at theirs to stand a chance imo

The semi finals are hard to pick winners from. I want an England v Wales final obviously but I went for an All Blacks v South Africa final at the start so I'll stick with that. Hope I'm wrong !

scottccfc · Oct 21, 2019

I can see it being another England v south Africa final

I want England to lift the trophy and can't wait for our game on Saturday. Eddie Jones has said the All Blacks are the greatest sports team ever. You can't argue with that, but he's a master of sports psychology and does say things to get reactions, so bring it on.

SBAndy · Oct 21, 2019

Looking forward to Saturday’s game. Less so the final as I’m helping set up the local bonfire in the morning and didn’t even give it a thought that it might clash with the RWC final.

bringbackrattles · Oct 25, 2019

Not long now. Can't wait for both matches. The All Blacks are sounding confident as usual, but Eddie Jones loves being an underdog. Both games will be tight I reckon, so hard to call. My head says South Africa v All Blacks final, but my heart goes England v Wales !

Good start. Got England to win between 11-15 points. Put a fiver on £75.00 return.

scottccfc · Oct 26, 2019

after 5 mins, NZ weren't expecting this

bringbackrattles · Oct 26, 2019

Great 40 minutes by England.

oscillatewildly · Oct 26, 2019

NZ aren't gonna put in another 40 mins like that, are they?

I've been working night shift this week so sleep patterns aren't easily adjusted at short notice. But I was like a kid on Christmas eve - 2 hours sleep max from 2am til 8am.

Otis · Oct 26, 2019

I think NZ will win. Even now.

oscillatewildly · Oct 26, 2019

NZ still in this game by the seat of their pants.

oscillatewildly · Oct 26, 2019

Split now in the arse of those pants.

CJ_covblaze · Oct 26, 2019

This brilliant. Unreal performance. Got Skyscanner open. Promised myself I wouldn’t do it but I’m very tempted.

bringbackrattles · Oct 26, 2019

Won my bet !

oscillatewildly · Oct 26, 2019

That was just immense - Absolutely immense! I don't believe it's possible to replicate that performance one more time. Ironically, probs the only team in the world that could - NZ.
The old hackneyed phrase of 'winning ugly' may be what we'll witness for the final.
So tempted to start on the ale now. Strong cup of tea I think till I've had a look at the guttering problem.

tisza · Oct 26, 2019

well that was immense. What a physical effort.

SBAndy · Oct 26, 2019

Sublime performance. What a win.

scottccfc · Oct 26, 2019

what a game, what a team England have at the minute, to a man we stood tall and firm against the all blacks.
We deserve to be in the final next week, could it be coming home.....

bringbackrattles · Oct 26, 2019

Bring on the Taffies for the final.

Mcbean · Oct 26, 2019

Very impressive - few mistakes - kept changing the tactics - short and long - line outs were brilliant Itoji my man of the match - bring on the pikeys
