Scotland - The Generic Moaning Thread 2024
First topic message reminder :
Scotland v Tonga
Sunday, September 24
Stade de Nice - 4.45pm kick-off.
Scotland v Romania
Saturday, September 30
Stade Pierre-Mauroy, Lille - 8pm kick-off
Scotland v Paddy Cousins
Saturday, October 7
Stade de France - 8pm kick-off
***
The 20 teams are divided into four groups as follows:
Pool A – New Zealand, France, Italy, Uruguay, Namibia
Pool B – South Africa, Ireland, Scotland, Tonga, Romania
Pool C – Wales, Australia, Fiji, Georgia, Portugal
Pool D – England, Japan, Argentina, Samoa, Chile
The top two teams from each pool advance to the quarter-finals. The teams who finish third secure automatic qualification for the 2027 World Cup, which is scheduled to take place in Australia in 2027.
The quarter-final draw is as follows:
QF1 – Pool C winner v Pool D runner-up
QF 2 – Pool B winner v Pool A runner-up
QF 3 – Pool D winner v Pool C runner-up
QF 4 – Pool A winner v Pool B runner-up
That means if Scotland manage to progress from the group stages they would be likely to face New Zealand or France in the quarter-finals if results go as expected.
The semi-final draw is as follows:
Winner of QF 1 v Winner of QF2
Winner of QF 3 v Winner of QF 4
The 2023 Rugby World Cup final takes place on Saturday, October 28, at the Stade de France, kick-off 8pm.

Very frustrating. Poor from Ashman and Price there.
We have squandered too many chances in this World Cup.

Good news is ashman will be back on the bench next week and price won’t be in the match day squad.

So again - how was Curry's worse than that - or the one last week where the player drove his shoulder up into the other player's face?

Re: Scotland - The Generic Moaning Thread 2024
World rugby are scared that a red card will ruin the game and therefore a country’s World Cup
This is ridiculous though. Shoulders to the face are feckin red cards. Sort it out

Funnily enough when Harris came through at the Falcons it was his attacking ability that everyone was talking about...he was a joy to watch then seemed to change to the defensive player people think of these days.

Darcy Graham started the match 6th in the all time Scotland try scorers list (20).
1 more try will see him 2nd equal.

We're ticking along at almost a try a minute. They will tire and start falling off tackles. Scouse Jonny will come on and score a hat trick from driving mauls.
Nothing to see here; move along now.

Redpath has been sublime at 12, what a fun first half. Time to get Kinghorn on to boost that points difference!

We need to take everyone off that’s starting next week. Even if it means playing with 13 men. We risk losing players to concussion otherwise.

Absolutely, this game is well over and the way Romania have tackled probably isn't going to get better as they tire or get annoyed as the score goes up. Scotland have done what they need to here, the last piece of the puzzle is just getting all the people due to play next week through this one unhurt

But according to the bunker buffoons all these shoulders to the head aren't dangerous ...

Good period for Romania. Well drilled pack and we just can't seem to get the ball. We're 20 short of a good score in my book.
