RWC: Japan v Scotland (Pool A)
-
It's one thing for the fans to carry on about conspiracy theories. For senior members of the SRFU to go on about us manipulating the situation, ignoring the fact that ours was only one of several games cancelled, is embarrassing to say the least. Based on this I would like Japan to them a new one, even if it means we face Ireland in the quarters. In reality I'd like Ireland to qualify top, one less high intensity match to negotiate on the way to a potential cup win

Yes and let one of SA and Ireland knock themselves out. Both scare me.

@Bones said in RWC: Japan v Scotland (Possible) (Pool A):
I want Japan to go as far as possible and Ireland to get sent packing by us. Preferably with some tasty "controversy".
At least one borderline forward pass and a debatable yellow card not handed out to an ab would be nice along with the usual amounts of skullduggery at the breakdown that cause whining about "all black invisibility cloaks" .
Also the scores should be close for about 60-65 minutes to give them false hope and then we pile on three tries to really twist the knife. -

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

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

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.

@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.

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!

@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.
