Scotland were never going to win the tournament so I don't see what all the fuss is about, beaten fair and square. Japan are harnessing some kind of home energy in beating both Scotland and Ireland. Think South Africa will be a bridge too far however.

NZ or England to win overall for me, they look the form teams.

Some fantastic banter with the Scots in the bar at the club today and a thrilling match to watch. They took the stick in good nature, gave plenty back about the inept England footie performance on Friday and a good time had by all.

Some interesting matches ahead. Not convinced England are as certain to beat the Aussies as many are saying. New Zealand will be too good but for me the hardest one to call is the Wales v France. I think Wales should win but France are more than capable of getting it together for one game. South Africa will be too good and too ruthless against Japan

I thought it was to point out he's to tight to buy a paper. Stereotypical :D

The point is that I regularly get mickey-taken over being Scottish - in a variety of ways - they are sterootypical views and comments - I basically ignore the comments though they can get a little tedious - but I do sometimes push back. For instance.

Comment - Oh look - the sweaty sock has his wallet out and might be going to spend some money.
Response - I prefer to spend my money in Scotland...

BTW - the club has the Daily Telegraph - I'm not going to buy that as I already buy a paper - but it's useful to get an alternative perspective on things...

Anyway - very disappointed at Scotland's exit - but that's just how it is.

Says the man who lives in England.

And there was me thinking the Mail (which you spend a lot of time quoting from) was the same as the Torygraph.

Good news bad news. Heard the club is opening for breakfast nice and early for this so people can watch the game before we go out and play a shotgun comp so hoping they'll be a great atmosphere. Bad news is we got turned down for an early licence as we didn't submit it in time apparently so no alcohol and having to watch it with a tea/coffee won't be the same for some

Farrell’s got his “kickin” boots on!

Have these players never had a scrum before?
Jeez, it takes a long time to get one done.
Oh, and why does Farrell take forever to take a penalty? What's with all the fannying about, there should be a time limit.
I've seen Bryson DeChambeau take a putt in less time.
Otherwise I'm really enjoying it, good game so far.

Very impressive performance from England, total team performance, don’t think there’s been any weak performances and equally no one individual has been MoM either.
Every player has stood up.

Impressive from England, clinical and very strong

Looks like NZ just have too much for Ireland
