How was that a try? Didn't the Scottish player rip it?

Was worth a TMO look

I thought so - was pretty rapid decision.

Tip of ball grounded before being ripped

[Billy Tell]

Forward pass. Scotland should be a bit sour that Barnes spotted it though.

I want Ireland to win for no other reason than I think the scots will give us less problems in the quarter ,

But any other day I would be saying go Scotland

Nah fug that, I'd love us to paste Ireland in a quarter.

I have a theory the more tough games you play in consecutive weeks , the closer you get to a poor performance, an easy quarter will be a blessing I reckon .

Ummm... Easy?

Easier , Scotland are more likely to accomodate us in an open game style

Scotland in a QF will be easy. They look terrible

Japan

[Damo]

Scotland are willing with the ball in hand but they have no crispness or flow to their game.

When they turned the ball over after the break they had a great opportunity at a counterattack, but they can't string accurate passes together.

[MiketheSnow]

If Watson goes off, Scotland are proper fucked.

Did Hansen not say
At the last WC teams have 2 big ones in a row in them very hard to get up for the 3rd game
And performance drops off dramatically.

Sure ok, so both teams playing in the final are doomed then I guess?

[Chris]

Looking forward to Tonga bashing England next don’t expect Tonga to win just hurt some Poms

[Damo]

Did I hear the commentator say that Blade Thomson was warming up to come on?

Yikes. I am behind the times. I didn't realise he was playing for Scotland now.

[Stargazer]

Sad sight, Watson going off like that. I really hate seeing that during a game.

[Billy Tell]

The Scottish coaches need to look st themselves. They’re playing exactly the same way as in the 6N with the same result.

That doesn’t make sense if one team has an easier QF then they will have an advantage of only a tough SF
If they both have a hard run in with 3 games it is even for both is it not ?

It's that simple isn't it. I wouldn't support Ireland otherwise.

An Ireland v SA QF clash would be great as they are mirror images of eachother with the same strengths.

Have to ask if they've regressed in the basic skills since Vern Cotter left.

[mariner4life]

Scotland are shit

Certainly, stupid nationalist pride is biting them in the arse. But, having lived in Scotland for four+ years, it doesn't surprise me

That would be so good to watch while we play Scotland

[mofitzy_]

Would be nice for Scotland to score a converted try next to make things interesting.

[Chris]

@Machpants maybe that would be Awesome for the tournament Japan in the QF
