BigTone Posted October 7, 2023 Report Share Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) Settled on the sofa with my 5L box of very cheap wine. Just had my Rosette & Cornichon sandwiches and have very stinky cheese (sorry @Dollymarie) to nibble on with TUC bikkies. Anyway: City to win would be perfect. 2-1 win for us I think. Georgia to beat Wales would be great. England to beat Samoa but not a nailed on and could be closer than we expect. Ireland to beat Scotland as i think they could win the tournament. Gas losing is always a welcome bonus. Other than that the sun is shining and 28 deg Edited October 7, 2023 by BigTone 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted October 7, 2023 Report Share Posted October 7, 2023 Could Ireland v Scotland be 'contrived' to put the Boks out? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Geoff Posted October 7, 2023 Report Share Posted October 7, 2023 Thought I'd missed something (Big day of sport). Don't give a hoot for the egg chasers, so other than City I can't see anything else to get excited about. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With regards the egg chssers i am more a Rugby League follower but anything to get out of tidying up the wood store. Still take an interest though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it would be contrived as such, but it does show why the last games should be played at the same time. Irland could be losing with 10 mins or to go and then arguably they are better off letting Scotland run in more points to knock out South Africa (Ireland would be above SA because of head-to-head so the points difference doesn't matter). I not saying they would do that, but even if that was how it played out questions would be asked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTone Posted October 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2023 Honestly rugby is losing itself up its own arse. How can you award a conversion and then disallow the try after its taken ? What a farce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We took some seriously big hits too. Fiji will be right up for it. Watching IRE v SCO now. I think Ireland will win, but I strongly expect them to burn themselves out in the knockout stages.

Think Scotland will run out of legs circa 60 mins. Ireland defence great so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ireland defence great so far. I can't see it myself, I still back the French sadly to go on and win La Coup Du Monde (Dupont injury is a bit of a shocker though). I never write off Scotland so long as Finn Russell is on form. Very nearly got a 50-22 then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
