RWC: Scotland v Russia (Pool A)

[Tordah]

Wayne Barnes does it again, using the lines on the ground to adjudge a forward pass. Think the pass was fine.

Scotland aren't going to beat Japan with this streaky bullshit

Japan-Scotland will be an entertaining game if the Jocks think they need to match Japan by playing an uptempo game.

[Stargazer]

@Tordah Yes, looked good to me, too. Barnes is an idiot.

[NTA]

Hands - plural - must be going backwards or sideways, but that pass was definitely not that.

Fair call. Blame Jonkers and Barnes together if you must.

2007 was 12 fucking years ago 🙄

Maybe this is where I'm going wrong, as the top hand of a spin pass always "looks" more backwards that it is at the point of release. But then often you can't see the bottom hand as the ball is in the way. FIIK.

Job done very well Scotland
Can they beat Japan? Yes

Will they beat NZ? Not a chance.

Better for the game if Japan beat Scotland and progress to the QF for the first time

It's a fine line.

Hard to feel sorry for Scotland in this situation after they handed out a thrashing.

Not like it... I dunno... decided a quarterfinal or anything 😎

Better for my health if Scotland beat Japan and send Ireland to the other side of the draw!

Is that the fortnight when Ireland have looked like a steaming turd or the fortnite that has ruined Ioane?

[Chris B.]

@Bones It's the fortnight where Ireland has become easier to beat than Scotland (or Japan)!
