I think League is better to watch

Before I hit the ignore button I am going to agree with you on that point. League is far superior to watch but that doesn’t mean Union is bad to watch. I would just rather watch league and play union.

I did say to mrs hogie before the Ireland game that I’d rather Scotland be playing Ireland at the outset rather than later on when circumstances might mean that Ireland would have to win to stay in the competition. And so...

I think you'd be a little silly if you didn't think that Scotland could very well be in that same position..against Japan.

Impressive first half from Wales, it’ll be interesting to see if Australia can respond.

 

[ScienceBoy]

Wales came out playing like Australia against Australia in the first half. Then Wales started to play like England..

Best game of the WC so far for me.

No argument from me, I enjoyed the Japan game a lot but this was even better!

 

[Old Skier]

Rugby becoming as confusing as football. If that was a red card for the Uruguay player how did the two Aussies not get at least yellow?

 

[USER1999]

The Aussies just gifted the game to Wales with idiot decisions, and idiot individual errors.

Point about Japan is that they have now qualified - pretty much - so may not be playing for quite as much as Ireland. Didn’t know that at the outset - and then did not appreciate Japan. I think an Ireland playing for survival have more go deep for than a Japan in same situation.

I’m looking for a glimmer of silver lining from the Ireland game and hoping for something from Scotland against Samoa later this morning. Not that confident though.

 

[USER1999]

Had hoped that Samoa would show a bit more than this. Bit of a mismatch.

 

[Old Skier]

Scotland running out of a bit of steam

 

[USER1999]

Red card helps alot.

 

[Old Skier]

Lot of inexperience and clumsy Samoan play.

 

[IanM]

I never seen a tackle like that... red card. Get off

 

[Piece]

Some interesting tackling from Samoa there...

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Good win and a clean sheet - always good and always a rarity.

England are playing ok against the argues at half time ,could do with Farrel putting his kicking boots on in the second though.

Yup. Terrible kicking from Farrell. Not sure I've ever seen him kick so poorly.
