It`s finally upon us.
Can Ireland fullfil their potential?
Can Scotland escape the group of death ?
Are Wales and indeed Englandshire as bad as they have both looked recently?
South Africa....new Zealand.... France.... Australia....
It`s going to be a belter of a tournament.
France currently beating new Zealand in the closing minutes of the opening game.
Edit ....
Downside was the opening ceremony....an utter car crash imo.

Curry of England sent off after yellow card upgraded to red. Yellow to an Argentinian is in the process of being assessed for possible upgrading.

Englandshire off to a good start.
Not quite sure if they were good or Argentina were really bad .
Maybe a bit of both.

Argentina didn`t seem to be up for it at all, conceding penalties and making mistakes all over the pitch. The loss of a man seemed to inspire England.

Today was a bit of a whitewash day (excluding England) where you don’t really know where the big teams will end up. Argies always expect a result from them then they flop!
Big day tomorrow for us though - win and its a big step towards the QFs - lose and I feel like thats it already as Ireland are too good!

What an utter shambles Bill Beaumont and his cohorts have made of this years RWC
The draw was made back in 2020 !!
We have 3 of the top 5 teams in the world in the same group
2 of the top 4 teams in the world will not make the semi`s
England did alright tho

I think the TV coverage has been pretty poor, especially the replay or non-replay of key incidents. I don`t know the intricacies of the guidance re head collisions but I could not understand why the Kriel/Dempsey clash was hardly mentioned in commentary and only discussed in detail at half-time.

wee eck .. that had nothing to do with the tv coverage .. although I don`t think STV should be let anywhere near Rugby
The TMO missed it even tho he has the benefit of slow mo .. multiple angles etc
The ref missed it but he missed many things today .. was more about him than the game

I was a bit surprised to see Gareth Thomas on the panel during the Wales game. Didn`t he give his ex-partner HIV after deceiving him of his own HIV status, the settled out of court with him?

More inconsistent refereeing in the Wales v Fiji match where the ref seemed to be very lenient with warnings rather than yellow cards when the Welsh were defending their line in the second half.

France Vs Namibia....
Hardly a fair contest but should be worth a watch .
I`m going for a difference of 60 points.
Namibia have never won a single game at a world cup apparently.

It has to be SA Mikey and by a good few points to give Scotland a chance to qualify by beating Ireland as well .. plus Scotland need to get bonus points in the other 2 games

I think Ireland will give us an absolute thumping personally.
Our only hope is that they rest some players and we are at our very best.

I don`t think we`ll be thumped, but I do think Ireland will win.

I can`t see Ireland resting their best players, they will want to win the group for a Q/F game against New Zealand, rather than coming second and playing France. Also, if they were to lose badly to Scotland they would risk not qualifying on the head-to-head rule.
So it`s all bad news and desperately bad luck for one of the best ever Scotland teams.

Still can`t get over them having Gareth Thomas on as a pundit. When you consider how it`s unlikely Russell Brand or Graham Linehan would get a gig with the mainstream channels, he seems to have escaped unscathed. Can`t understand it

From Aunty :-
On the morning of the match, the Sydney Morning Herald reported Jones had held a secret Zoom interview last month about becoming the Japan coach next year, despite having signed a five-year deal with Australia.
Jones denied those reports but Rugby Australia chief executive Phil Waugh was addressing the reports publicly less than four hours before kick-off, so preparation was not ideal.

I agree with you RSP, that it is shameful he is on the screens, but it will be due to two things - 1. It was settled out of court so no blame attached to him and 2. The gent he infected has forgiven him, so will be seen as a 2nd chance.
On the point of beating Ireland, am I right in thinking if we win by 8 points or more, and they don’t get 4 tries, we will qualify on H2H?
If so, we have a slim chance, and crazier things have happened, but could also see another Craig Joubert 2015 moment happening to keep Ireland in it 🙄
