Shocked at how shit the jocks. Pretty disappointing

Much better under Verns guidance

The more I see , the more I think japan are a real chance

Japan were bad against Russia though. I think Scotland can score plenty but only against weak defences.

I missed that game to be honest , just hoping

Japan were crap enough. But they had nerves and their 15 was diabolical.

[Machpants]

Jesus, against a tight rush defending team that leaves acres out wide who are a man down,, Scotland keeps trying 'clever' inside passes and moves...? Utter idiots

@MiketheSnow Yeah that's what I meant. The winner of the Bok/Ireland game will be on the other side of the draw and will avoid England.

The winner of the bok Ireland game will probably make the final.

By the time they bash the crap out of each other , I wouldn’t write off aus or Wales

Which is why I said probably. I’m happy England have 3 consecutive tier 1 matches before a semi final.

Yep can’t complain the way things are shaping for us

My reading of the brackets is

Ireland v SA in QF
Australia v France in QF

Winners play each other in SF

NZ v Japan / Scotland / Samoa
England v Wales

Winners play each other in SF

[Machpants]

Ireland were Ireland,, Scotland were arse. No idea how the upcoming bok QF will go

[mariner4life]

Boring but really good from Ireland.

Scotland are a waste of space

[Rapido]

2 young, newish Irish outsiders were impressive; Larmour and Conway.

Conan gives the good impact off bench, although nothing new there, Irish have had a surfeit of good loosies for the last decade.

The most disappointing team so far.

Yeah, Ireland did that one handed really, also plenty of dry powder in their shed. Bugger.

Disappointing by Scotland, can see some really nice plays but very poor decision making and handling killed them.

No secrets given away by both sides.

Interesting you seem to have given up v aus in pool play , I see that as 50 50

[Rembrandt]

Disappointing game that one. I hear Spark are offering refunds, does boringness count?

Ireland look excellent IMO

Agreed. Glad we won't be playing them in the 1/4.

Eh? Whether it’s a 1/4 or final, bring it on. I think they are pretenders.

[Billy Tell]

Japan vs Scotland goes on to my must see matches. Unless Samoa throw a spanner into the works

Ireland will have huge pressure on them for their QF as they've never won a RWC knock-out game.

I'm not sure there is a player on world rugby I dislike more than Johnny Sexton

Owen Farrell?

Yeah, I reckon Wales / Australia will see a good opportunity to take Ireland in that semi because of the psychological and physical effort Ireland will need to put into that match to break their duck

[Derm McCrum]

Job done.

@Derm-McCrum
Ireland looked good but how poor were Scotland? Looking like a tier 2 side.

Yeah there’s a reason Scotland vetoed the world rugby comp. would have not been surprising to see them relegated.

Ireland are very well-drilled and well-organised team. They will make the Semi Finals of this tournament at least.
