Scottish cnuts, hope next decade when they want to play us again we give them and play Georgia.

You won't, because money.

Aren't we an "economic powerhouse of the game"?

[taniwharugby]

@booboo yep, WR, refs all in our pockets!

We are the paymasters.

Yes, but do you want Scotland Rugby to pay you in pounds or Georgia to pay you in tractor spares?

[Blackheart]

So..if Scotland beats Japan and no one gets a bonus point then both teams have 14 points.... doesn't Scotland go through to the Quarters because they have a better points difference? Scotland will have 70 odd and Japan only 41...or is this just wishful thinking because I'd rather the ABs play Scotland than Ireland.

@Blackheart In that scenario Scotland would go through as they won the head to head against Japan.

What kind of tractors are we talking about here?

@akan004 Ok so that's the ruling...great...Come on Scotland..I nice win by 8 would do the trick.

Either Scotland or Japan in the quarter would be fine, preferably Japan for me.

Really?

Not sure what the currency exchange is like in Georgia but I'll bet the NZRFU gets more out of Murrayfield?

And the Scots being Scots are bound to charge the players the standard ticket price at the turnstyle just to get into the ground thus making even more money!

[Blackheart]

@akan004 neither team has beaten the ABs but I agree Japan would be a better choice...anything than those bloody Micks...they know how to beat us.

IIRC there is no revenue sharing arrangement on the EOYTs. That has been the longstanding argument from Tew and co.

Scotland aren't exactly a marquee game.

I thought that was the case too . So they are effectively a complete waste of time and effort to the NZRU

Yeah. Ireland will be very tough so best to avoid them. We should beat either Scotland or Japan comfortably enough.

[Bones]

Ireland will be be about as good as they have been all tournament. Take away Stockdale and they're even worse.

I'm hoping for Japan in the quarter, Australia in the semi and France in the final. Always opt for the easy way out!
