A mixed bag from Scotland for sure but nothing much to fear from england or Argentina. Scotland should win the group
can we have a £10 on this? I will give the money to the charity of your choice is Scotland top the group.
Only if I get good odds 🙂
Scotland to top the group - after leaking 24 points to Romania???
I'll join AA in offering a tenner to a charity of your choice if that happens.
I'll have a tenner on the argieS beating Scotland anyday!!

well the knees a bloke in the head who is already on the ground, its a cheap shot
Is that Lawes in the first vid? If so, he was a bit dodgy throughout.
Totally unintentional
unintentional? did you ever play the game? His tackle of Teasi was late too.
"I got there as soon as I could" is not a valid excuse. Especially when it occurs time after time.
If anything his knees hit the argies hips and torso
If anything his knees hit the argies hips and torso
yeah right that would explain why he was sparked out cold then!
Only going on your clip above
So you didnt watch the game then?
That Selzo is a dirty **** too
it's part of the sport isn't it
it's part of the sport isn't it
in a word no, unless of course your Matrin Johnson or Bakkies Botha
it's part of the sport isn't it
Cheating?
10 debutantes in the team covers the unglamorous scoreline then, good call.
jsut read the first page of the thread and so this, its a line Dilly Dally came out with a few times and is completely inaccurate, first time they have played in a world cup but all the team have plenty of experience of playing for England apart from the token Samoan. Almost as good a his line "England come into this game on good form having won all their matches" apart from the ones they lost obviously...
I thought Lawes was out of order the first time i saw that. Another angle and its right on the bonse.
Oh my, not a bit of rough play in a game of rugby? Whatever next?
🙄
violence is part of the appeal for players and spectators.
I guess the line between what it punishable and what isn't is a thin one?
DezB, you looking forward to the Australia game? 😀
shame the Pantomime Dame wasnt playing for the whole match he's usually good value
this is how you tackle Courtney
I guess the line between what it punishable and what isn't is a thin one?
Yep and...
When it's punished you accept it and get on with it.
When it's missed by the ref, you count yourself lucky.
When it's caught on camera and neither of the above apply, it becomes banter.
I guess the line between what it punishable and what isn't is a thin one?
problem is that these days with all the camera's around you dont get retribution. 15 years ago the argies would have just kicked the crap out of him in the next ruck.
both Selzio and Lawes should be at least cited and made to explain themselves IMO
[i]DezB, you looking forward to the Australia game? [/i]
Certainly am! Looking forward to dome decent rugby, thats for sure...
Saw 'highlights' of Scotland game. Seemed like usual struggle against 'lesser' opposition that we alway do. Like to make things difficult for ourselves.
Positive that we won and seemed to be able to run the ball well though how that will go against sides with a better defense remains to be seen.
Negative would have to be the forward pack which was woeful from the clips I saw.
Doesn't sound like it is worth my while watching the England game.
Seems most of the lesser nations have been doing better than expected from listening to Talksport's bookies this am they have alllost by significantly less than expected. (NZ were expected to put 60 points on Tonga!) Maybe some more suprises this year.
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...

[u]Scotland hardly did much better, against a much poorer side[/u]
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 😆
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.
