Ghostsof1915 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Ireland is just too fast, too smart for Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Tough start. It was always going to be an uphill battle but I felt we could have done better - a couple of poor decisions, the set pieces were f*&^%ing terrible. Yellow card (bad judgement on Cudmore's part) early in the game was the nail in the coffin. Overall pretty solid defense, held the Irish off for a good chunk of the second half. Stuff to build on anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicky Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Those last five minutes in the JAP/RSA game were goosebump inducing. What a call to take the scrum. I love this game. As an aside, I noticed that after the Ireland game that players don't trade jerseys anymore. Kind of made me sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish⑦Canuck Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Probably the biggest shock in rugby world cup history. Scotland are in that group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 What the hell madness is this? Japan beats South Africa. And now Argentina is ahead of the All Blacks? WTF is going on???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicky Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Yeah, All Blacks just too strong and deep. You knew it would be a decent game though - Argentina has been playing well lately. All of the favourites seem to be having slow starts or not being as dominant as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawns Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Yeah, All Blacks just too strong and deep. You knew it would be a decent game though - Argentina has been playing well lately. All of the favourites seem to be having slow starts or not being as dominant as expected. Not a great match for All Blacks, but their depth really shone through. Like Canada in hockey, they could probably field two full teams in the top 10. That said, very sloppy in the backfield for NZ......theyll have to tighten that up in the playoff round. Not sure what to make of SA right now. Japan didnt give up and the Bocks just seemed overconfident and it jumped up and bit them. Right now, from the teams that have played, I like....

elvis15 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Yeah, that Japan game. Couldn't watch it live as I was headed out to watch my team's club rugby games (two women's and two men's games) and there was no avoiding hearing the score.

alfstonker Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I reckon Japan are favourites for the Scotland game now. Here they were probably thinking Japan was an easy 4/5 points now they must be pretty worried. I didn't see a weakness in Japan's game and unless Scotland match their intensity they will be in for a real beating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I wouldn't say Japan is easy, but I'm sure they're feeling the effects of an 80+ minute clash with the Springboks. It's not as certain that they'll perform as well against Scotland as this could have been a game they managed to hold together because of emotion in part. They certainly didn't look as good only a month or two ago in the Pacific Nations Cup (winning only one game and losing to Tonga on the final day).

alfstonker Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Well it looks like Scotland were not to be denied. A battle of wills and Japan may have taken too much out of themselves against SA. (although they didn't look tired until the game was out of their grasp and even then they came back well at the end) Scotland looked sharp. I would say the group is wide open now.

stawns Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 The wallabies looked like they had things well in hand and sat back in the second half. Good on fiji for not giving up though......their offense looks good, but they are a mess on defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish⑦Canuck Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Good to see you ScotCan. Thanks Scotland fairly comfortable over Japan. Pretty impressive result but I feel a bit for Japan having to play us 4 days after expending all that energy against the Springboks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
