[Closed] Rugby world cup

Looks like its "[i]allez Le Bleu[/i]" next weekend then 😆

Hahahahahaha - GET IN

Scotland are always a bogey team even though on paper England should beat them by 20 points plus. Quarters here we come.

....even though on paper England should beat them by 20 points plus.

Taking current form into consideration, I'm not sure we'd deserve an on-paper win of 20 points against Japan....

Did you miss the bit where I said I'm neutral? Where's the masquerading bit? Are you simply upset because I don't support england?

You won,but were pish quite frankly.Hang on, it was the warm up!

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!

Too close for comfort but we're through

Playing England should be good motivation for the French to finally rock up to this world cup?

My heart rate is slowly dropping out of the 'heart attack' zone now...

Flood was much better, Youngs doing that classic English scrum-half technique of taking a couple of steps before releasing the ball. When will we learn you can't do that against backrows of this quality?

And Ashton with the try to put Scotland out. Teej? TJ? You see that mate? The bit where Ashton went over the line and Scotland went home? Teej?

Awwwwww.

😀

Overall, Scotland's problem has been the same throughout this world cup - if we could finish off try scoring opportunities, we'd have been playing this game to decide which quarter-final we were in.

What are the odds on England winning the final? Worth a punt, imo.

If England were pish, why couldn't Scotland finish them off? Was it Scottish incompetence in the final move or Englands defence that did for them?

In the wider view, how are Scotland going to up their try rate into actually scoring some?

Time to dust off this picture

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the thought of TJ's face right now...

Scotlands decision making was terrible, particularly Parks. 5 mins to go, in the England 22 with good posession and he sends a crap garryowen that England go up the field from and score the winner. Unlucky Scotland but they brought it on themselves. Well done to England for sticking at it and to Flood when he came on.

Ah well, Hopefully Ireland will do the business tomorrow and I'll be happy.

And Ashton with the try to put Scotland out. You see that. The bit where Ashton went over the line and Scotland went home?

Awwwwww.

You can always rely on some gobshite to come along and boost the sales of ABE t-shirts again 🙂

Err dwarf...Never any suggestion from me that we are anything but the worst of the home nations,yet a country with the oft-stated aim of winning the tournament needs a last min try to beat Scotland,hardly anything but pish I am afraid. Maybe that is why your...sorry I mean OUR commentary team were reduced to blaming the banning of your fitness coach?

Maybe have more than 16,000 players,thus allowing us more backs to pick from?

COME ON GEORGIA 🙂

Shame for Scotland, they deserved to get more out of that. If you can't score a try when the ball is at your feet a metre from the line though, you've got problems...

Lol at us getting to the final. We might scrape an ugly win against France but we've looked second best against the two half decent teams we've played so far.

Parks distribution from hand has broken Scottish hearts for a few years now - the lack of creativity at No.10 is the obvious weakness in the Scotttish side. If we had a Gregor Townsend now, we'd have a massively more dangerous back line.

So in summary.

Game = Pretty gash from England, but we are through. Scotland played well.

Brekkie = Sausage, bacon, mushrooms, fried egg, hash browns, beans, tomato, fried bread, toast and black pudding with a pint of Guinness = Superb

Hang on, i actually AGREE with you about England's performance, my question is why couldn't Scotland finish them off? Again, Scottish incompetence at the final move or England's last-gasp defence just too much for them?

I thought LBND comment obout the fitness coach was bollox!

Well you'll get more use/monies worth out of them than your RWC replica jerseys

There are times when it is just great to be English & living in Scotland. I'm just off to goad the wife... 😀

Very true - and you know how we Scots like to look after the pennies. 😉

Is that a euphemism?

Actually, we should never have been close to England, last week,which I missed did the damage; so based on that.

wahoooooooo!!!
England win as only England can, at the last minute.
Scotland's points came from England's mistakes rather than anything resembling good rugby. England relying far too much on their defence. Scotland without the ability to finish off anything which was expected.
Very entertaining.
Bring on France! 😀

Nick De luca is a kunt and thats all i am going to say about todays game.

you've been listening to Dilly "england best team in europe" DallyO havent you?

not sure why you would think that, but I will say Armitage is certainly one of those

If there's one thing to be learned by the faux- (and not-so-faux-) Scottish here, it's that gloating should only be carried out once the match is over.

Although I guess that leaves you guys with very little chance of ever getting a gloat in.....

Condolences to the Scotland fans - as I said earlier, I'd like to have seen both of them go through but not to be. The England haterz will have their day.

You do appreciate, don't you, that we don't gloat because of the occasional success at sporting events. 😀

Funny how certain fans only sing when they're winning. 😀

on todays evidence the winner of ireland wales 1/4 final have a very good chance of making the final
