RWC: Japan v Scotland (Pool A)
-
Possibly superfluous Japan team named: William Tupou, Kotaro Matsushima, Timothy Lafaele, Ryoto Nakamura, Kenki Fukuoka, Yu Tamura, Yutaka Nagare, Kazuki Himeno, Pieter Labuschagne, Michael Leitch (captain), James Moore, Luke Thompson, Jiwon Koo, Shota Horie, Keita Inagaki.
Reserves: Atsushi Sakate, Isileli Nakajima, Asaeli Ai Valu, Uwe Helu, Hendrik Tui, Fumiaki Tanaka, Rikiya Matsuda, Ryohei Yamanaka.
But this top quality whining just makes me think a bit of karma for this lot putting the kybosh on the World League
-
Tupou back at fullback. He will be bombarded with high kicks.
-
@Machpants Scotland has rugby journalists?
-
Is Lemeki injured? surprised to not see him in the 23.

Have to agree. The absurd lengths these halfwits will go to to develop a harebrained conspiracy theory. They construct an alternate universe utilising hypotheticals to show how poorly they've been treated. Knowing full well the only possible response is to say "STFU you whining spastic".

If not beat them, at least mash some potatoes

Maitland won't be missed. He's been well off his game.

SRFU threatening to unleash the lawyers?
Scotland consider World Cup legal action
Scottish Rugby chief executive Mark Dodson thinks there is a strong legal case against World Rugby cancelling their World Cup game with Japan.

From a mate
'I don't get why the Scottish RFU would waste time / money on a legal challenge to the RWC organisers.
The rules were clear before the tournament began, both teams have played the same opponents so far, so Japan quite rightly would deserve their place in the next round should their game get called off.
It's all a bit bizarre!'

That's where I am with all of this. I suppose that one can always argue whether they were the right rules, but such as they are, they have been followed to the letter. To suggest that somehow undermines the integrity of the tournament seems nonsense to me

Scottish coach a few days ago when it was thought a possibility that Ireland Samoa would be canned:
“My first thought was that it was called Typhoon Haggis, obviously it’s not," he said. (Ho ho ho)
“The Ireland game cannot be postponed, it has to be played that day,” he said. “If it cannot be played that day then it’s two points for each team.”
Scottish coach yesterday when it was thought a possibility that Japan Scotland would be canned:
“Scottish Rugby fully expects contingency plans to be put in place to enable Scotland to contest for a place in the quarter-finals on the pitch, and will be flexible to accommodate this”.

Most acrimonious build-up to a Rugby game I can remember for a long time. Scottish team management are behaving like prize fluffybunnies.
Go Japan!

Scots rugby union head have a cnut of himself sulking like a spoilt child . You bet your arse they'd do something different if it was the abs, people actually want to watch them play.

That is true, but he does realise that our match was cancelled right? Denying us a chance to get some players into a proper RWC "match" (I use that word in the broadest of terms).
Really weird how how these bellends can turn everything into a comparison with the ABs (which they will lose). Aura I guess.

Swearing by its self doesn't seem to be a problem. Swearing near sexual stuff or graphic descriptions of sex acts seem to get us flagged
We had a few flags in a row but nothing for the last couple of months

Coffee. This is what happens when you learn pastry from the French, beer from Germans, whisky from Scots and coffee from Americans.

They are dead serious about their coffee though. Shame really

@antipodean nope, just you wait, I can't remember who but one member here flew to Japan for an espresso

An espresso is the only way to drink it; prevents them ruining it with whatever they do with the milk. That said I have on occasion found a small place hidden away that knew what they were doing.
Not just limited to Japan either, I managed to find one good cup in Taiwan, same in Korea and none in China. That they're so rare is what makes me remember.

These weren't great.
"337 fatalities from MU-2 crashes" although I'm sure it was generally pilot error...

I have no love for the sweaties but my preference is for Scotland to win by less than 7 pts without scoring 4 tries. Therefore they win but lose.

American company approaches a Japanese factory and asks them to make 1000 widgets with an acceptable faulty rate of 3 per 1000. The Japanese send them 1000 widgets and 3 they made faulty on purpose.

As long as Ireland beat Samoa today and pick up a bonus point, otherwise Japan will finish on top under this scenario. Ideal situation is for Ireland to pick up 5 points, Japan to pick up 1 and for Scotland to pick up 4. This way we will play Japan.
The forecast for Tokyo next Saturday is for heavy rain and strong winds. This will suit Ireland more than us so come on Scotland!
-
Yeah, I am assuming Ireland gets 5 pts against Samoa so top Pool A.

I don’t think that’s happening. I’m predicting a low-ish score.
