BanburyRed Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Will take that, 3 wins from 3, bonus point, tricky tie negotiated. Now for Japan to put the pressure on Scotland with a win against Samoa. Great for the hosts to get through to the quarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. The "contingency plan" appears to consist of hoping that the game can be played when it should be and then saying "oh well never mind" if it can't.

MichaelRobartes Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 It's a bit of a disaster for the tournament really. I enjoyed Eddie Jones' views, imagine if England needed to win the last match to get through or top the group, would have been a huge meltdown. Hoping that both games in our pool go ahead. We need a BP win and for Scotland to beat Japan to get through as group winners. The way we're playing NZ and SA would both wipe the floor with us anyway so it probably doesn't matter. In other news, respect to Italy for drawing with NZ. Commendable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as people are saying that England and France having an extra week's rest will give them an advantage, it could work the other way. There's a danger of both going in a bit undercooked. In England's case especially, we've won 3 games whilst barely breaking sweat, a game against France with something riding on it would have been no bad thing.

That is true, but England already have a few injury problems. I don't think they'll be at all upset at not having to play the match and having another week to get some players back nearer 100%. If there was anything at all riding on it for them, Eddie would be going ballistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 Got to feel for those who have travelled as well. Go on a cricket tour and you know that the weather might be a blocker in watching any action, but you could well be a few grand out of pocket to see nothing here. Ouch.

Fine, Italy would probably be well beaten but that's not the point. More than anything I am absolutely gutted for Ghiraldini, would have been his last test match, playing NZ in a World Cup, what more could you want? That's been taken away from him and he must be devastated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
