RWC: Japan v Samoa (Pool A)

[MajorRage]

Scotland to go through. I think the Japan run is over.

The Jocks aren't a bad team.

Oh they are.

You just don't want Japan to top the pool

The latter part is absolutely correct, but not behind my thinking.

Scots were made to look worse than they are by Ireland and vice versa for Japan. I think it's close to 50/50 but Scotland should edge it.

I’m going to stake my reputation, my masculinity, my fortune...well maybe not my fortune...on japan handily despatching Scotland.

The fortune too big to risk?
But the others not so much...? :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye:

Well, I'm staking my lead in the work tipping competition -- which is worth more than my reputation -- on Japan winning by ten.

I admire your attempt to bring @MN5 back to the Fern.

The funniest result though would be Samoa beating Ireland and Scotland beating japan. Japan and Scotland go through.

That isn't even really a scenario though is it? That is just Ireland turned up to the RWC and lost to Japan and Samoa so didn't make the QFs.

Most of the funniest scenarios (three way tie on 15 points with Ireland being eliminated) are off the table with Ireland having a higher for and against than Japan.

Sounds like there might also be a Typhoon rolling in which could throw a cat amongst the pigeons

I pray for the safety and well-being of all in harms way, but let that typhoon rip through and see what happens to the draw 😉

Looks like it will be cancelled too. Horrible way to go out for Scotland.

This fixture has already been played.
