Rugby World Cup

[Doon frae Troon]

It seems as though there might be some double standards being applied by the Scotland management. When it looked like the Ireland match might be cancelled or postponed to the following day Townsend said "the Ireland game cannot be postponed, it has to be played that day". Now a cancellation could affect his team it looks like he's changed his mind.

What do you expect. There is not enough chips big enough to sit squarely on their shoulders

You both sound really disappointed that Scotland have not been unfairly kicked out of the world cup.
Perhaps you should be looking at your own chips.

Mind you bang goes our excuse that New Zealand only won because Scotland had been unjustly eliminated.

You sound just like your manager (or a teenager) "Oh it's so unfair". When I wrote my post no decision had been made on whether the match would go ahead. I was simply pointing out the hypocrisy of the manager. But he's already moaned about a decision in Japan's last match so I guess it's not a surprise.

Good game this, difficult to call after 30 minutes.

Might be easier after 40 minutes.

Ironically the two he's missed have lead to tries immediately after - a rare case of actually being better off missing!

Japan are great to watch. Really enjoy their rugby.

Japan have been immense and fully deserve to top the pool . Scotland need a Twickenham second half

Yep great first half from them.

To be fair they've played fantastic rugby all tournament and would fully deserve their place in the Quarter Final.

Well played the Canadian team; game off, so they joined in the fan park clear up operation.

Bonus point for the Brave Blossoms.

That try from the Scots has made the last 30 minutes more interesting though.

Be more interested know why Scotland aren't down to 14 or even 13.

Need a Scotland try now!

I'm not in any way a fan of rugby ................................... but what a game this is!
I don't need to know the rules to appreciate immense effort in the midst of a magnificent battle.
Footballers could really learn from this!
These are proper men.

Bet you wish the game was cancelled now , could have milked the “unfairness” for years and your chip could have increase significantly in size - 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Outstanding for the tournament to have Japan go through 😄
