RWC: Japan v Scotland (Pool A)

@NTA said in RWC: Japan v Scotland (Possible) (Pool A):

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

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

@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.

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.

Yep. Those tractor parts are looking more attractive all the time.

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

I spent a lot of money to attend that game. As much as I'm confident we'd beat the paddies I would prefer not to chance it. Besides, a Japan/Scotland, England, SA path to the final would be more desirable

[taniwharugby]

@canefan better to beat Ireland in the 1/4 than chance losing to them in the final

They have the pressure of never getting past the next round, but if they built and made the final I reckon they'd be more dangerous.

Long term forecast is for over 50 mm of rain. Don't want to be playing a team like Ireland on a day like that.

[Billy Tell]

The number 1 key to beating Ireland is defensive discipline. Of which Samoa has zero in the first half. Make Ireland gain territory rather than handing it to them on a penalty platter.

I'd like to take the easier path to the big game, if we are good enough I'll take our chances against anybody in the final.

I take a different view - I reckon they'll play their final in a QF against. That's why they will be so dangerous and why I reckon they won't be able to get up again a week later and instead will bomb out.

They won't need it.

But I would like to see Farrell given a red card

Good to see all the references to Tropic Thunder in the last few days.
