    Scotland are just crap.

      @Billy-Tell Samoa might fancy their chances getting out of Group A too.

          Nah don’t think so. They should aim for 3rd.

            Sean Maitland (ex-Crusaders) scores for Scotland 14-8.

                Blade Thomson's Scotland debut over three minutes after half time. Goes off after a bang to the head.

                  56 minutes gone. French look out of puff already. Scottish lineout terrible. 10-14. Quality of this is shocking.

                    Chris Harris with the try after 60 minutes. Scotland hit the lead. France look bored. Poor defence. 17-14

                      Neither of these sides will make the RWC quarter finals based on today's evidence.

                        Scotland win 17-14. They have two tests against Georgia before the Rugby World Cup.

                          Enland with an early Farrell penalty but Ireland right back at them with a converted try in the corner.

                          Shit defence from England. Three defenders blocking out the Irish chaser, no one watching the ball.

                          England 3 - 7 Ireland

                            Slick ball off the back of the scrum, England easily outflank Ireland.

                            Cok in the corner.

                            England 8 - 7 Ireland

                              That was a peach of a try from England.

                                  Ireland have pack problems. Best is their John Smit just past it and their South Africans Stander and Kleyn are struggling.

                                  Backs are also defending poorly.

                                    @Billy-Tell England make more dominant tackles than any other team. Hugely physical. Agree that Ireland have been average.

                                      England looking very impressive. Ireland look like they have just met. 22-10. Could get ugly for Ireland in the second half.

                                          Impressive by England. But to win the World Cup they have 5 consecutive games against tier 1 nations, although they could probably afford to lose one of those pool games. Will be tough.

                                          Ireland don’t have decent backups for 9 and 10 if Carbery doesn’t make it.

                                          Intriguing to see how things pan out in second 40.
