Reasonable game from Scotland. Some good stuff, some of the usual dross.

One advantage of being in Oz was that it was 10:30 am here when it was on, so I was reasonably well awake. I suspect at 4 am over there, the lack of sleep has clouded your judgement…

Scotland hardly did much better, against a much poorer side
Very true, but then we’ve not been talking ourselves up as potential World Champions

No, but neither have you actually been world champions. Heck, we accidentally found ourselves in the final after demolishing Australia and France last time. That was the tournament we lost 36-0 to SA at this stage in the tournament….

Bit early in the tournament to be that defensive 😆

True!

I openly admit that of the 4 games on yesterday (it’s great having them on at a decent time), the England game was by far and away the worst, and that’s before you take into account Wilko’s confusion about being upside down…

I wasn’t aware of us talking ourselves up though – being in South Australia, the only mention I’ve heard of the RWC being on at all has been Qantas adverts…. Barely a mention on the news, or anywhere else.
