Hahahaha..... just saw that, Wales favourites.... Hahahahah...... I reckon you've picked up some sort of tactic from somewhere.....

I'm not even bother putting your argument to bed with facts.... it's already transparent.

With Farrell, Barritt and Burgess starting? Do me a favour. This is a 20+ point drubbing England are going to get now.

Ha!... you're posturing..... With our front row and our injuries?

You have strength in depth..... the ability to change things if they go wrong.....

This is 50/50..... either can win on the day and the truth is.... we both have no idea how it's going to go....

(until after the game when we will talk knowingly about what would happen)

Utter bollocks.

So if an Englishman (player or otherwise) is asked can Wales win he should avoid the question?

Your injuries matter little when compared to the motivation to humiliate the English, at home, in their RWC. Also England front row are rubbish, locks ok, back row are tosh. Captain is about as dynamic and masterful as a leader as Private Pike. The coach never selects anyone in the same position for more than 2 matches. The Forwards coach is not fit for purpose. The midfield is some guy who misses tackles and is rubbish in attack, and a bloke who was still wiggling his legs 12 months ago and will be a buffet cart of eat as much as you can turn over balls for Warbie and Tips. We have a SH who is either brilliant, or more usually, crud. Full back not playing even close to 50% of his potential, one winger who is very fast but not very good, and another who is great. One good player. That is it. That is all we have.

So, if Wales lose, they might as well squeeze the ball into a round shape and start playing soccer because there is no excuse AT ALL for Wales not to win.

We have started playing soccer and we are ranked above England by FIFA .

Had to look it up, but can's right!

That is just classic.... I would have been proud to pen that..... I'm gonna share it with the boys from Bangor, Llandudno and Rhyl.....

Two cracking games on today. The Jap Scot game should have a healthy audience. Hoping Eddie pulls another surprise out of the hat.

Aus Fiji game should be good too. Pocock and Hooper both start for the convicts so they are taking it very seriously. Love watching the Pacific Islanders sides for the va vavoom they bring to the game.

Ditto that, although as I've said earlier might be a bridge too far.

Still really looking forward to it though. These day-or-so breaks in the tournament are arse.

The jocks can't fill a stadium when its in their own back yard playing England. Kingsholme has a capacity of 16,500, and I would hazard a guess that as the Glaws home shirt is red and white..... Japan will be playing a home game, in a sea of red and white, with 16000 people cheering them on

Ummm I have no idea of the relevance of bandwagon, batman or bat mobile.

Ahh. Well it was only mildly amusing to begin with and attempting to explain it will suck even that out of it.

I will say this though: I'm unashamedly on the Japan bandwagon.

Should have gone with something like this

Jesus wept! Even I don't believe a word of this.

Engerland at home, at the RWC, with a half decent team.....


Oh the humanity!

When someone from your neck of the woods makes such unbiased predictions, it ruins the tension of reasonable equality both sets of supporters have been building for months.
It coud just give us a slight edge ......... but don't bet on it.

Heart says Japan, head says Scots.

Aussies to win the other game of the night.

Having been to Murrayfield once a year for a 6N game in 4 of the last 6 years I have to dispute your statement that the jocks can't fill a stadium playing England as was a sell out when I went for Scotland v England. Against Wales and Ireland the stadium is also pretty full, however games against France and especially Italy you will see a lot of empty seats in the upper areas but they do their best by giving out lots of free tickets to schools.

Does seem to be a lot of anti Scotland posts on this thread of late, wonder why that is.

I had similar thoughts about the venue and support.
When the fixtures and venues were sorted I suspect it raised a few chuckles about selling that many tickets so far away from Murrayfield.
I bet they are not laughing now.
Gloucester supporters would turn out to watch farmhands unloading turnips and still cheer for the underdog,

WTF, bagpipes banned. Have previous tournaments or countries where Scotland have been touring banned bagpipes before?? Petty and pathetic if you ask me with the reason being given that it may ruin the experience for other supporters. Never known opposing supporters complain about bagpipes before.

One thing is certain - Scots play the bagpipes better than they play rugby.
