    If the mighty Scots win do they go to 5th in the rankings? British sides ranking 2, 3, 4 and 5 would make the Walrus beat his meat all Christmas....

    They're a hell of a chance especially at Murrayfield but I won't hold my breath......my heart has been broken too may times.

    Yes... according to https://rawling.github.io/wr-calc
    ... new rugby superstition being born... I just applied for British Citizenship/passport... perhaps I've transferred some "All-Blacks-essence" to the pricks?
    I'll consider burning my british passport at the start of RWC2019... see how that goes.

    I travelled from London to Dublin on my newly-acquired British passport, wearing an All Blacks jersey. It's my fault we lost.

        Shit result. In years gone by I think the Scots would have gladly taken that as yet another 'gallant loss' but they've improved enough in the last few years to realise that was a Bok team that was there for the taking particularly at home.

        Ireland and Wales have made huge strides lately but to be honest the Scots aren't too far behind. They'll be a force in the WC.

            Based on this Autumn, Scotland could easily lose to Japan and not make it out of the group.

                    haha no way!! i learned that lesson. Once. Once i let myself get a level of expectation once, and of course i got my fingers burned. So the Black Caps and the Warriors are settled in the "no expectations" pile. Fuck doing that to myself

                        @mn5 that's weird, that's when I lived in Maroubra, went to a few warriors games. Most fun we had was going along to a Chiefs game and taking a massive ships bell. You could hear it through most of the commentary. Met Gibbit too.

                          You lebs have an interesting idea of a fun night out. You also add cheese to kebabs over there which really threw me on my first night on the piss.

                              Actually the latter would be quite delicious. Isn't it amazing how many flavours there are these days?
