[1 Eyed TEZZA]

This match has no relevance on the USA. They're in the quarter finals regardless.

A win for Scotland will knock Tonga out. Scotland will be hoping for an Italian loss or a small victory as Italy currently has a better F/A of 14 points.

 

[newman]

Scotland will win.

 

[miguel de cervantes]

Looking foward to this one. Scotland shoud be too strong.

 

[Springs]

Will be there in a Scotland jersey. Come on boys.

 

[joshie]

[Pugzley]

[The Partisan]

Shall be there in a neutral capacity ....though possibly leaning a little bit towards the Scots. Last game I'll see for a while too.

why?

 

[The Partisan]

Why I'm a neutral fan ? Well here to support the code rather than any indidual country....though naturally will have the Roos to support in the finals.

Why I won't see a game for a wee while ? Headed to middle of nowhere Scotland tomorrow for a few days. Hosts are not sports people so chances of catching English v Fiji or any other game are quite remote.

With not being able to find a pub showing the non England games I have missed plenty anyway.

 

[Misanthrope]

I'm really looking forward to this game. Probably the two teams I'm most behind for the tournament (f**k the Kangaroos :lol. I think the US bubble bursts here. Scotland need win to be a chance of the next round (unless Italy get smashed by Tonga, which is a possibility) while the US are already through.

 

[thommo4pm]

Great to see the players belt out the anthems. Some horrible singing voices though

 

[whall15]

He grounded it on his leg ffs.

 

[thommo4pm]

I thought that got down on the ground.

 

[Storm13]

Thought you could park a truck under that ball when it first happened.

 

[mikkolos]

I often find myself incredulous at some video ref decisions, but seeing that people actually think he didn't ground that first try just makes me think different people see different things. Because in my head, that was as clear a try as I will ever see.
Having re-read, wasn't as many people thought that as I originally did haha.

 

[no name]

The number 14 was clearly obstructed. They got that one right.

 

[Canard]

Good game so far.

Who is this Matt Russell.

 

[Canard]

Harsh call.
