Boring but really good from Ireland.
Scotland are a waste of space
The most disappointing team so far.

Yeah, Ireland did that one handed really, also plenty of dry powder in their shed. Bugger.
Disappointing by Scotland, can see some really nice plays but very poor decision making and handling killed them.
No secrets given away by both sides.

@MiketheSnow Yeah that's what I meant. The winner of the Bok/Ireland game will be on the other side of the draw and will avoid England.
The winner of the bok Ireland game will probably make the final.
By the time they bash the crap out of each other , I wouldn’t write off aus or Wales
Which is why I said probably. I’m happy England have 3 consecutive tier 1 matches before a semi final.
Yep can’t complain the way things are shaping for us
My reading of the brackets is
Ireland v SA in QF
Australia v France in QFWinners play each other in SF
NZ v Japan / Scotland / Samoa
England v WalesWinners play each other in SF
Interesting you seem to have given up v aus in pool play , I see that as 50 50

Ireland look excellent IMO
Agreed. Glad we won't be playing them in the 1/4.
Eh? Whether it’s a 1/4 or final, bring it on. I think they are pretenders.
-
Japan vs Scotland goes on to my must see matches. Unless Samoa throw a spanner into the works

I'm not sure there is a player on world rugby I dislike more than Johnny Sexton
Owen Farrell?

@Bovidae said in RWC: Ireland v Scotland (Pool A):
Ireland will have huge pressure on them for their QF as they've never won a RWC knock-out game.
Yeah, I reckon Wales / Australia will see a good opportunity to take Ireland in that semi because of the psychological and physical effort Ireland will need to put into that match to break their duck

Job done.

@Derm-McCrum
Ireland looked good but how poor were Scotland? Looking like a tier 2 side. -

Ireland are very well-drilled and well-organised team.
Yes they are. But they were given an armchair ride by Scotland. I didn't see anything new from Ireland. If you see what England and Wales did to them in the 6N (and the English warm-up game), they can be taken down for sure. Scotland were really poor, I expected more from them. The Irish 2nd row is class though.

So you are picking Ireland to beat SA in their QF? That game is 50/50 for me.

Scotland clearly saving themselves for Japan and Samoa...

I'm 70/30 in favour of SA for that game, I haven't seen anything yet to sway the NZ v SA final prediction

@ACT-Crusader Dry powder all over the place!
