Scots jovial and smiling in the photos.

Irish looking like they’ve just been asked to pash their sisters.

Could be an early pointer…..

Scotland by 30.

Can't see Ireland slipping up I don't think.

A mysterious double negative sentence from Dodge. Pondering its meaning.

[Dodge]

English never was my strong point. I can’t see Ireland slipping up. But I can see them losing. Excited about this one

[Jailbreak7]

IMO Scotland will never have a better chance to get one over their old foe.

You can't imagine Sexton carded for a neck roll or backchat?

Isn't that England?

[Damo]

A Scottish blowout BP victory would be hilarious. It would make me less worried about whatever happened with the All Blacks if Ireland did not make it out of their pool.

For some reason Ireland is the team I dislike the most.

GO on Scotland, dominate them. And if you can't make it dominant, beat them. And if you can't beat them, at least get Sexton petulant.

[booboo]

Just worked out scenario that Scotland can concede Ireland a BP if it's only a 6 point win (if Scotland get 4T BP win).

Odds of happening ... ?

probably because they're the best side in the world and you don't speak French. YOu take disliking South Africa for granted and them winning again doesn't feel like it upsets the status quo.

Oh and England are too shit to care about at the moment.

NB. lets see how Wales get on, they're pretty easy to despise under Gatland if they get to the pointy end of the tournament and you have to put up with their fans...

Here’s my prediction.

Scotland will beat Ireland. They’ll be up for this game, they’ll know them well from playing them every year, they won’t have the doubt that I’m sure they have vs the Boks…..

Problem will be they won’t get four tries and deny Ireland the bonus so they’ll finish third and get eliminated in the pools despite a 3-1 win/loss record.

It’s going to be a tragic day.

[Billy Tell]

This is definitely a game where Scotland have seized Ireland’s traditional moniker of plucky underdogs.

It would make the RWC for me if Scotland get up and would make me concede there's a reason for Scotland to exist.
