Pre-RWC test matches

[Wairau]

@sparky probably not because some Nthn hem teams have an extra 2 games...and we get no points for beating Tonga...

Next week England/Ireland play-if Ireland win, they go #1, we to #3.
If England win, then it is Wales, NZ, Ireland, England.

Sept 1 is Wales Vs Ireland in Wales, and if Wales win we are #2, and if they lose, we are #1.

September 7 . Wales Vs Ireland again, in Dublin.

Assuming Wales win at home, and Ireland win at home, we will be back at number 1.
If Wales win twice they will be 91.00 to our 89.4
If Wales lose twice to Ireland, Ireland will be 89.83 to NZ 89.4
If both teams win away but lose at home Wales & NZ tie on 89.4

Less than 2 minutes played, and Alivereti Raka scores his first try in the French jersey. Raka is France's Sevu Reece.

Turned sky back on this week for the cricket. But here I am on Sunday morning watching Scotland v France in rugby, and a bit bored by it all. I need to keep my powder dry for RWC rugbyfest.

Scotland were very poor. On their heels in defence and didn’t really attack the breakdown.

French enigma continues.

[raznomore]

@MiketheSnow nah mate. Take the ranking an enjoy.

[Machpants]

Yeah Wales 15 of last 16 games I think? They've been good and and been poor, form rewarded.

Made better by the 2m face slide

Almost reminds me of that Namibian joker who went for the fancy dive in a game at RWC 87 and farked his shoulder

Scotland were absolutely terrible and France looked decent enough.

I don’t even think it would be an upset if japan beat Scotland. They’re currently 7th and 9th although France may now be 7th and Scotland 8th.

I think Argentina won’t get out of their pool with England and France advancing.

Wales 13 - 6 England

Not a classic but we've gone from shithouse to penthouse.

England looked bereft.

"Highlights" of Wales-England. England looked clueless with the ball in this one. Wales were committed and very well-organised.

French revival?

@sparky that try should have never happened, yellow card guy still on and HIA in progress. Ridiculous. But oh well

There are always deals where the french are involved

I agree and thought it was a harsh yellow card too. The French refs and their fondness for dishing out cards are a concern with the RWC imminient.

I can barely understand the Welsh commentator. Like, 10%, listening carefully.

Every time Scotland wear that abortion of an away strip they deserve to be absolutely pummeled.

French back play looked wonderful. But all based on solid forward display.

Japan would have beaten Scotland at the last WC if the schedule had fallen for them better - very short turnaround.

Would not be surprised if they advance this time.

There was plenty of drinking post-training.
