What a GREAT game Scotland against the Japs. Scotland taught them a lesson. Well done Scotland.

Re: Rugby World Cup 2015 Poll
Very unfair that this is Scotland's first game, but Japan only had that epic encounter 4 days ago!
Something wrong in the scheduling, and really effecting the smaller teams.
Japan were in it, until they lost their number 8.
Some clinical stuff by Scotland in the second half, and the bonus point is excellent for them.

Re: The Rugby Union Thread
No bonus point for Australia. All of a sudden the England game on the weekend seems more impressive.

Yes, a definite trait with the ABs. Fitzpatrick was probably worse that McCaw. I surprised he didn't run for parliament when he retired

Score line flattered Scotland.

Tough pool is pool A. I feel for Wales as I don't they will get through to the quarters.

Re: Rugby World Cup 2015 Poll
Thanks! We will see how they do against Samoa. Samoa will think they have a decent chance.
I actually see South Africa beating Scotland. Japan beating South Africa has made this group the most interesting.
New Zealand beat Namibia. But the scoreline could have been a lot worse. And they scored a try which was great!

Re: The Rugby Union Thread
Its pretty hard to predict what happens beyond the pool. Plenty of teams have had a loss in the pool then gone on to make the final. Don't think any have won it from a loss in the pool though. I could be wrong. Peaking at the right time always rates a mention.

Re: The Rugby Union Thread
I forget England got trashed by South Africa in 2007: That entire run was incredible
