I mean Ireland and SA would bully the fuck out of them. France if they dont surrender would bully them too and NZ are NZ. I wouldnt even bet on Australia beating Argentina atm. They probably will, but wouldnt be surprised if they didnt make it out that group. This is probably the worst Australian team of all time. They have absolutely no chance.

I expect it'll be the worst semi we've had in a while on that side of the bracket (quality) and the final being a complete pumping. But you never know, one off games on the big stage.

Meanwhile Top 5 Scotland have arguably the 2 best teams in their group. Yeah the draw is absolutely wild! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Traive 22,821 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Can someone offer a sensible explanation as to why South Africa will have played their third match before Scotland play their second? Never seen this before in any World Cup in any sport. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every team in the pool will have a bye round while the other 4 play. Again can only guess SA and Ireland are playing on Saturday night and Scotland on Sunday afternoon due to TV and when they can have most eyes on one of their top games.

bam74 985 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 They're a great side but was a bit of luck that got them the win tonight. If the SA boys had their kicking boots on they would've won easily. Was some game though. Hard bastards the lot of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worlds_Most_Successful_Team 70 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Assuming Scotland get maximum points in their other games, needing to beat Ireland by 8+. Could be some final game of the groups but canny see that happening unfortunately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVRanger 2,649 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 On the radio this morning, everyone was talking about the potential Ireland / South Africa v. NZ / France quarter finals - all before Scotland have even played their 2nd match! Organizers have totally botched the tournament - you just can't have some teams having played only 1 match when others have played 3. Feel sorry for the team as - barring a miracle- Scotland are effectively out already. Add in results like 96-0 and 71-0 together with incomprehensible refereeing and you can see why the sport is struggling to get any global traction.

Four teams have played 3 group games while Scotland and Tonga haven’t played their second game yet. Are the SFA involved in the organisation of this shambles?

We've got the world champions and the country currently ranked number one while England have the rugby equivalent of Benburb and Auchinleck.
