On the downside for Ireland, , if this game becomes an easy win, they could go into the knockout stages without being seriously tested.
That’s good for us it is a soft pool Ireland have
Spot on. our draw is actually pretty good - a hard game first up, and then build to Italy before heading into the quarters.

Scotland are just so passive. They are handing the advantage to Ireland.
It's frustrating too. Standing around in defence, allowing Ireland to play.
There's some potential there, some good running and passing and kicking, but in between that it's pretty average
-
just like NOrthland, Scotland never fail to disappoint.
-
The cut out pass was on there to the winger over the top

I reckon Northland May beat Scotland

Scotland trying to play like the ABs but without the execution.

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
-
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

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?
-
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.
