So how can this result knock out the Paddies?
No.
So the Scots can leapfrog the Japanese but the Irish are safe? Oh yes, BP win 7+

Yes. Maximum points the sweaties can get is five from this game. Japan need to either win, or ensure Scotland don't get a bonus point while they remain within eight points so they get a bonus losing point.

If it wasn't for the undue influence of Scotland on World Rugby this game would have been called off.

Confirmed. We’re going!

I wonder if any of them are going to backtrack on their comments?

Or the scenario that Japan get a two bonus point loss.
After all is said and done with refs, TMO’s, cards, typhoons and cancellations - the final pool match is a big decider.
I’m wanting a Japan victory because they have been playing good rugby. Scotland’s form has been iffy at best with some good stuff but some very mediocre attack.

Is that their aura?

It would be so funny if the far north poms lost.
-
@Baron-Silas-Greenback I'm really, really, really hoping they do!!

The track is going be wet. I saw footage of the Japanese team training yesterday and you could see the water kicking up. That and the tunnel from the sheds to the field was under almost half a metre of water yesterday morning

3-0 to Scotland sounds great to me!
Scots to win but lose.
That's what I've said all along. But I would like some tries if I am going to stay up and watch the game. 3 tries each would do just fine!

Want the scots to win for obvious reasons ,
But I would much rather support Japan , and not just because of the dramas,
Japan have been one of the few highlights of pool play so far for me , have enjoyed their approach to the game
If it's really wet then that will favour the Scots who will be doing everything they can to slow the game down
I dunno if that would favour the Scots, they have some decent backs they like to use and aren't exactly a team of big chug it up units. Japan and their accuracy however would probably love a nice slow game to tackle a team into submission.

I want Japan to go as far as possible and Ireland to get sent packing by us. Preferably with some tasty "controversy".
I'd prefer if we beat them straight up. No real or perceived controversies that keep them whinging into their beer for the next 10 years

That was a different ground.

Well that's my argument stuffed then
