Once we have beaten NZ or SA in the quarters we will have no reason to fear anybody. That's if we make it to the quarters, of course. On last nights showing we will be lucky to get out of the pool stage but thankfully it's only the first warm up game and Finn Russell never played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Blackheart Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 That was a disgrace. Wouldn’t surprise me if Toony gave a broadly similar team the chance to either make amends or play themselves out the reckoning. I think he’ll rest Hogg and Barclay, and I reckon he’ll find room in the forwards for Watson and Blade Thompson off the bench. He should maybe give Hastings another 80 as well.

We did make mistakes, but they weren’t good enough to capitalise and their try arguably shouldn’t have stood. We were as good as they were bad. Hopefully repeat next week with no injuries and off to Japan we go. Think Huw Jones may not be picked, but we shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

euan2020 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 see that is 4 of the South Africa winning team from 94 now dead Chester Willaims now at 49 https://www.sport24.co.za/Rugby/RugbyWorldCup2019/tributes-continue-to-roll-in-for-springbok-icon-chester-williams-20190907 I got told a lot of the younger Rugby Players in ZA at schools etc, are all on steroids, to beef themselves up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryWood34 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Incredible and equally baffling that if any match is suspended due to bad weather the match will be a DRAW and not replayed despite any scoreline in said match. With it being monsoon season there is every chance this happens. Also does anyone think that the fixtures & group have been set to benefit the host nation. The group Japan have includes the weakest 2nd seed and the lowest ranked team in the tournament. The fixtures are also fairly odd. Game 1 : Japan Vs Russia (lowest ranked team and never won a world cup match) Scotland (Japans probable direct competition) v World Number 1 side Gets a bit of momentum going. Game 5 Japan v Scotland in effectively a shoot out. Now it is in everyone's interests for Japan to get out of the group, let's hope that doesn't filter to the officials....

Yes, it has been set up like that, but the fact we now have Russia as our penultimate game instead of a significantly stronger team will help us rest our players. How did you get on with wales tickets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you get on with wales tickets? On sale in a few weeks mate, quietly confident now as I’ve also became a member or the WRU. I think I can get 4 from that pre-sale and 4 from the principality pre sale. Means I may have to pay over the odds for the other 2 nearer the time. Its a stag doo so here’s hoping 2/3 of them are struggling too much from the Friday night and I don’t need to bother.

AlfieMoon Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Anyone known if there's anywhere with an early license to watch the Rugby World Cup games in Glasgow? I'd normally go to Coopers on Great Western Road but neither there nor The Crafty Pig across the road are opening. Ireland game on Sunday is a 08:45am kick off. Seems that there are a few places in Edinburgh if any east coasters are interested: https://foodanddrink.scotsman.com/food/drink-food/rugby-world-cup-7-pubs-to-watch-the-rugby-in-edinburgh/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanderark14 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Australia v Fiji was an entertaining match. The Aussies took there time to get into gear but eventually did, Fiji going down to 14 helped but they gave the Aussies a fright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
