Well you're No.1, you can knock any one out.
Say, have you noticed how there wasn't any crying when Ireland were ranked No.1? Hmmm, I seem to remember a lot of kicking and screaming from a certain faction when Wales were ranked No.1.

I think this will be a very tight game due to the expected conditions. I am not sure the expected conditions suit Scotland better, I would say they suit Irelands more attritional approach.

I like CJ at 8 and feel he is a better 8 than Conan but with Conan at 8 and CJ at 6, there is just a lot more balance.
I too would have preferred Conway at 15 for this match ahead of Larmour, given the expected conditions. He is just better in the air and defensively more aware and stronger.
I agree he is physical at the breakdown its more in contact that's the issue for me. Look he is a good player and Schmidt knows what he is doing so hoping he and everyone else has a good game. POM is also liable to have a very big game from time to time so hopefully this and the quarter final he has a big one.

Ireland should win as they have experience at winning big games. Scotland do not really have it but you never know. If Scotland win it’s a massive upset and if they do Ireland are fooked.

Re: Ireland [1] vs Scotland [7] Pool A, Match 6, RWC 2019
Things are fairly well matched on the flanks - Barclay and PoM are old workhorses who will be looking to put in a big shift with all the dirty work, and Watson and VDF (who I really rate) are incredible athletes and really dynamic.
At 8 we know what Stander is going to be doing (carrying very hard) and what Wilson will be doing (winding up everyone).

Winning the group or finishing runner up makes little difference when it comes to the knockout games. Win and you face NZ lose and you have to face SA. Both big asks.

VDF vs Watson, that's quite a face-off. Both are often the best player in their teams, although the former seems to have been blighted by injury a lot, so I'm hoping he makes it through. If not then Ireland are fooked because their back up 7 is.... wait for it...……

Exactly LT, but you’d rather be going into either of those games with confidence. And vice versa NZ/SA.

Inform us about which faction that is, mikey?
We're World Number 1 and everybody is laughing since we got it. You haven't heard the sneers, jeers and 'experts' laughing at the idea of Ireland arriving in Japan as Number 1?
You didn't hear any of that stuff? Of course you didn't. You're Welsh, not Irish.
Let them laugh. I don't care. Numero Uno won't last long. Won't New Zealand take it back if they win their next game coming up soon? BUT, it doesn't scare me. Nor do I think if scares the players. We're 1 because over the last few years we deserve it. 2nd was getting boring anyway.....

If SA beat the ABs I think they may go top, which means four of the top five teams will have been number 1 ranked in the last six weeks

I don't really put that much interest into the rankings myself. I more watch the games an form my own opinion of who is the best. Ireland may be currently ranked Number 1 but they are not the best side in the world for me.

NH teams only ‘pretended’ to be #1 because they scheduled a bunch of out-of-season friendlies. Turns out none of the NH teams really wanted it or deserved it

It's not what the ranking system defines though (always humanly subjective anyway). Ranking system defines a scientific procedure that identifies rank based on opposition played, results achieved, location played etc.
ABs were ranked 1 for so long because they consistently fulfilled the requirements...not because a calculator felt they were best team.
We are currently No 1 under the very same criteria New Zealand always achieved it. We deserve our ranking. I don't fear it or any jinx that others might feel attached to it.

Id love to see VdF follow in his alma mater Eric Miller's footsteps and get selected for the Lions some day. He is a total freak of an athlete. I have met him before and he is like a character from Fargo in so far as how polite and nice he is.
Russia beating Japan 7-0 so far

Ha, partially true I suppose as I dont read much into those games however, the ranking points were only worth a lot because the NH sides Wales, England and Ireland have consistently won more games than anyone else in the last 4 years besides NZ.

Nah, it is true Guns. NH teams played games that they never would have played and saw themselves boosted up the WR rankings. That’s why Hansen had a chuckle.

Ireland's game is exactly what negates Japan - I think Ireland will get through them relatively comfortably.
Scotland on the other hand...! It doesn't sit well with us to play structured, patient rugby...

You might be right about SA but Japan have never even come close to not getting a hiding v Ireland. Id say Japan would actually do better against unstructured, looser sides with weaker defenses like the SANZAR sides minus SA.

Is there any chance you could try posting your point of view without trying to have a dig at someone.
It’s hard to understand why you constantly want to belittle other nations players and coaches.

Not sure we can base anything off of this first 32 minutes, the Japanese are obviously nervous, the Russians without any pressure whatsoever. I suspect they'll still win comfortably.

Scotland team is predictable from Toonie. Huge concern if Russell goes off but other than Blade at 8 and Hastings on the bench ahead of Harris, I'd probably have gone with the same.
I fear for Dell against Furlong, and with Best and McInally starting the lineout will be a total lottery!
Can't wait!

Butterflies in the stomach start now eh...! Both teams look good, maybe a little conservative in both selections but solid selections.

Dell is up against one of hte best THs in the world but he's a very good scrummager himself - he's not big but has very good technique.
I think the scrums will be about even, with the ref tossing a coin to decide who to penalise (as usual).

I have a feeling Ireland are going to bulldoze Scotland's scrum. However, Im sure Barnes will find a way to level the playing field as much as possible.

Dell will need to be awkward and use every trick in the book. He's giving away 2 stone. Nel vs Healy will be a proper battle, and we shouldn't lack grunt from the second row. I think Ireland will win the battle of the scrums personally, with Dell struggling.
I'm predicting Ireland by 15 points, but I still think Scotland will escape the group.

I've always feared the Irish scrum but I remember the last few games there was very little in it, and we even got the nudge a few times last game (but lost a few pens when the subs came on).
We have a very good scrummaging front row - none of them are big but they've got excellent technique. We have two big lumps at lock as ballast too (as do Ireland).

There is so much history when it comes to Barnes and Ireland that unfortunately its not possible to see his appointment and not be disappointed. Human nature and I dont think thats unreasonable really.

Yeah good luck to Ireland trying to get away with the most blatant of scrum-cheating with Barnes as ref. Hopefully some French refs will save your blushes in the later pool games given that Glen Jackson isn't here.

You always get away with something depending on the ref. Pushing the limits is frankly what you should be doing as a pro sportsman.

For a man who spends so much time whining about English posters on Welsh threads, maybe you could follow your own advice.
But glad to see your still upset about your scrum getting shown up over the two warm up matches

For a man who spends so much time whining about English posters on Welsh threads, maybe you could follow your own advice.
But glad to see your still upset about your scrum getting shown up over the two warm up matches
Our scrum isn't great right now but at least it tried to compete against the Irish legally, and when we did get a dominant scrum we were either wrongfully penalised or not awarded penalty/advantage. I'm sorry (not sorry) but that is just poor, poor officiating from the French refs. Anyway you always react badly to me pointing out these facts, even when I provided you with evidence. You seem a little worried? I think Ireland are quite overrated tbh, Schmidtball is easy to work out so away from home Ireland aren't too good - so maybe that is why you are worried. The team could prove me wrong by winning the tournament of course, a big if...
