    I can't remember a twenty-one year old as good as Reece Walsh. He looks like a right fanny as well.

    Presumably Scotland want South Africa to batter Ireland later tonight as it means a straight up win over them (assuming they beat the other gimps) gets them through. To face New Zealand. Noice.

    I can’t remember the last time Scotland even gave Ireland a decent game never mind a win over the cunts.

    Who exactly do Oirland think they are not taking the points from an attacking penalty in the first two minutes? Morons.

    I thought he'd ballsed it too, but the camera angles can be deceiving on the far side.

    Ireland are going to smash 30 past us. Could be quite a few up here if they bothered to ever take the points

    This bloke's entire kicking routine has a whiff of terror about it, like a defender walking up to take a penalty.

    South Africa are just awful to watch.

    Not straight is always the most baffling call in rugby. I guess, like most of the rules, it's entirely arbitrary and at the whim of the ref.

    That song's about needless sectarian killings isn't it? At least South Africans will relate.

    R(i)feree botched it at the end I thought, ball was out.

    I don’t understand rules obviously but I have no idea why South Africa got penalised at the end there?

    Cunts anyway. Scotland will need to stick 100 odd combined against Tonga/Romania as well as beating Ireland.

    The ball was clearly out, but blowing for that was easier than potentially overseeing a score, so he bottled out of it.

    A few draws would have broken that up a bit, which is why 'Golden Point' is poo.

    Not great. Got the bonus point win but needed to win by a few more. Will need to stick 90 odd past Romania next week to avoid needing to get a bonus win victory against Ireland im sure

    The draw and fixture list have fucked Scotland. More or less had to beat SA in that game or they were out there and then.

    Surprisingly good bit of advantage play there by old Wayne [didn't he retire?] to knock back the "can we go back for the penalty please sir" bleating that is usually par for the course in Union.

    The latter. Australian sport has become completely insular as time has gone on.

    I thought it was funny yesterday when Italy got done in front of their own posts early doors for the least forward forward pass going. Downhill from there for them.

    Would have been quite fun to see both Darcy Graham and Duhan van der Merwe against these gimps. Just the former will do though

    Could do with getting to 90-100 here

    Utterly pish from Scotland. The amount of mistakes they make in terms of handling errors and decision making doesn’t change from game to game

    If/when Penrith complete their three-in-a-row, it's fantastic to think that right in the middle of it was them getting pantsed at home by Konrad Hurrell.

    a combination of a bonus-point win for Scotland and a losing bonus point for Ireland will leave all three sides on 15 points, meaning it will come down to points difference for the top spot and head-to-head for the second spot
    Sounds a right head scratcher.

    Is there a permutation which sees South Africa eliminated and Ireland still topping the pool? I'm guessing not as that sounds like the team that finishes not first would have to have beaten them to win the head-to-head, and that ain't Jockland.

    If Scotland didn’t fluff their lines against Tonga a few times there could have been a world where Scotland would beat SA on the points difference but not a chance they’re beating Ireland by 20 odd points with Ireland also scoring 4 tries.

    I think the easiest way of Scotland going through is to beat Ireland by 8 or more points without Ireland getting 4 tries. If not then they’ll need to score 4+ tries themselves and win by 8 points or more.

    So basically Scotland are starting the match with a -7 handicap. Lolz.
