By the cringe, we’re ten minutes in and I’m already sick of the Scots pundits blowing smoke up their team’s collective arse. I must have heard the word quality about 50 times already.
Just shut up and let your team do the talking.
Let them have their moment you old grump

You can only think the Scottish commentators are unfamiliar with the word's use.

The thing is their moment has lasted about 20 years and they’ve just gone into overdrive since Scotland have been playing some good stuff after years of drek, dire rugby.
Just a bunch of fellating cheerleaders. Barclay and Hamilton aside.
And don’t get me started on that blonde bird 😤

I hear ya.
I much prefer the measured unbiased views of Goldie, Mils and JK.

That imagery makes me want to chunder.

84-0.
Well done Scotland. Perfect set up for a massive game against Ireland next weekend. It would be absolutely terrific if they could somehow knock over the paddies and deny them a spot in the quarters. Not completely outside the realms of possibility however unlikely it may be.
Didn’t Romania used to be ok ? They’ve fallen down the genuine minnow path pretty comprehensively this WC, the results against the three big boys have been horrific

Scotland second string getting a higher points difference against Romania than Ire and SA. Next week will be a cracker. Too few of these games in this world cup so far.

Indeed. Ireland winning is far from given. Scots won’t fear them as they would NZ although recent history points to a comfortable Ireland win.

Absolutely. This will be the game of the group in my opinion. Scotland will go out all guns blazing and full of mad Scottish passion. Group of death living up to its name, but I just can't see the Scots getting the bonus point they need to knock Ire out.

The group was fucked from day one. All three deserve to be in the quarters especially when you look at the other side of the draw.

Decades ago they were really good. Better than Italy and capable of beating France and Wales. Toured NZ in the '70's (?) beating a NZ 2nd XV, I think.
A lot of their players and structure came from the armed forces and the collapse of communism had a huge impact when state funding disappeared.

I will be seriously pissed if Scotland do beat Ireland and we end up playing SA in the QF
Don’t be so selfish. Think of the joyous South African faces if Scotland do knock over Ireland though.
The Scots in the team will be happy too.

Let it go Elsa
Smashed against SA, never in it
Ireland will trounce them and confirm that they’re not half as good as they think they are

Easy to say as a Welshman with all the easy games you’ve had
quarters is top eight obviously and they deserve to be there, anything beyond that is fantasy stuff.Ireland are definitely likely to beat them soundly yes, but one must remain optimistic.

I remember them touring NZ in the early 90's too
