RWC 2011 Pool B Speculation...!

by maestegmafia Wed 20 Jul 2011, 9:39 pm

First topic message reminder :

Pool B

Argentina (8) 78.97

England (5) 82.48

Georgia (15) 70.30

Romania (18) 65.57

Scotland (9) 77.35

England as Six Nations Champions have to be favourites for this Pool, they were the strongest team in the NH annual championship, but they struggled as the tournament wore on. Convincing wins over Wales and very convincing over Italy preceded a narrower win against France and less convincing win against Scotland and finally loss to ireland. They are promising but not the finished article. England should top this pool but they need convincing performances to get them started towards greater things later on in this tournament.

Scotland having beaten Argentina in Argentina twice leaving them as second favourites in this pool. Scotland are not the finished article either, strong in the pack though unconvincing behind, they have struggled to score tries. Look better with Jackson at flyhalf though, a decent inside center to partner Ansbro and they could be a good side easily underestimated.

Argentina were on great form in 07 but havent shown much of that since, missing star player like Hernandez they are not the force they were. They haven't shown the form they did going in to this tournament that they did in 07. I dont think we can expect a repeat this time.

Georgia are a new rising star in Europe's lower tiers, a strong forward orientated team. They caused former semi finalists in 07 Argentina problems at the last world cup holding them to 6-3 at half time. But have previously lost 83 - 0 to England. It is great that they are in the world cup again and hopefully give a better showing than last time, showing their improvements they were ranked 17th in 07 they are 15th now. Winners of the European nations cup since 2006 they are knocking on the door.

Romania, bottom seed in this pool but a former giant of the second tier of rugby, they almost beat the all blacks in the early eighties and have beeten a whole host of top tier nations in their illustrious past. They have never beaten England or Argentina but have beaten Scotland twice and Georgia 13 times. But all a long time in the past.

Said it before, I'd try

Simpson
Flood
Monye
Bananaman
Tuilagi
Ashton
Foden

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Thu 21 Jul 2011, 1:39 pm

I think England will qualify, but the key to determining how easy that will be and whether it's as pool winner or runner-up will be how the Youngs-Flood partnership fares. If I was Andy Robinson, I'd have Barclay and Brown giving them both hell for the entire game (much like Ireland did) - then anything could happen

Absolutely agree.

No thanks I'd rather have Italy as the 3rd ranked side than Argentina or Scotland.

The relative strength of the 3rd ranked side is key and on that basis England have the hardest not the easiest group

by funnyExiledScot Thu 21 Jul 2011, 1:53 pm

Yes, Flood is certainly a man to target, and if Hape plays 12 rather than Flutey, he doesn't have a player outside him to relieve the pressure.

It's actually a difficult call for Robinson I think getting the selection right for the England match, and I guess a lot will depend on what the group looks like. Barclay is our best 7, but Rennie possibly has the edge as a fetcher, and could go a specialist job on Flood. If Barclay has a rough 80 minutes against Argentina, then on a horses for courses basis, Rennie could be the right pick.

by Boston Exile Thu 21 Jul 2011, 3:50 pm

FES - also thought Barclay's form this season was well below the previous 3, and it seems it was because he was carrying an achilles injury. Pulling him out of the Glasgow squad was apparently to give it a chance to rehabilitate properly. If he's back to his pre-2011 form he will still start, but if not I'd certainly consider going to Rennie (there was not much between them when Barclay was 100% - Rennie should have played more 6N). I also think the same argument applies to No.8 with Beattie and Denton (think Denton should be picked for final squad).

We have plenty of speed available for the back-row (depending who AR finally picks), but we need the front 5 to be going well for that to show. Think Hines or Hamilton must start at 4, with Gray/Kellock vying for 5. Now are the props going to be at their best?

England and Argentina are not known for having weak front 5s and both their back-rows are better than they seem to be rated by many posters here. I can see all 3 packs negating each-other and it coming down to the backs where England have an advantage, especially if Parks plays. Jackson should start and I wish AR could find a way to take Weir much as it would mess Glasgow up.

by funnyExiledScot Thu 21 Jul 2011, 4:22 pm

I think both Brown and Barclay missed Beattie this season. As a result of the Hines at 6 horror show, both had to focus more on ball carrying, something at which neither is particularly strong. It certainly affected their game, and the balance wasn't right. Hopefully AR will have identified Denton as the player to cover for Beattie. He's a proper ball carrying number 8, and we need that to get the best from Brown and Barclay. I don't think Vernon can give us the same grunt, and Hines should stick to the second row.

My thoughts on Weir going are pretty well known. Too soon. He'll be far better off making the Glasgow jersey his own and getting some experience starting matches. It's going to be a rough season at Glasgow, and he'll learn a lot. Game management is going to be absolutely essential if they are to avoid the bottom of the table.

Players (and stand-offs in particular) shouldn't go to the WC unless you're comfortable that they'll be able to handle 80 minutes of knock-out QF rugby. The U20 JWC does not make Weir ready for that. It should be Jackson starting with Parks as second choice. Both CP and Laidlaw offer emergency cover. I wouldn't stray from those options.

by Boston Exile Thu 21 Jul 2011, 4:33 pm

FES - understand your reservations about the readiness of Weir. Parks is so much of a wild card, his own performances are often the reason Scotland blow hot n' cold. If there needs to be emergency cover at 10 then I'd look to Laidlaw before CP. CP is playing well again in the back 3 and should be left alone (heaven knows he's been shunted around way too much). Laidlaw is IMHO more likely to provide a spark to get the backs moving.

by funnyExiledScot Thu 21 Jul 2011, 4:48 pm

To be honest I don't mind so much re: Laidlaw versus CP, both should be emergency cover only. There's certainly an argument for keeping CP at 15 though based on his performances in the 6 Nations, but I'm not 100% that Laidlaw at 10 and CP at 15 is necessarily better than CP at 10 and R Lamont at 15. Not much in that I reckon.

Because it is in the SH and therefore too far away logistically. Or, they want to play the 3 top ranked sides perhaps.

Understand - you guys are focussing on coming second in a group so you go through, as opposed to coming third. But that that doesn't make England's pool hard for England. It is harder for the others in that pool.

by Boston Exile Thu 21 Jul 2011, 6:12 pm

Whilst we want to continue our record of always making the knock-out stages I'm certainly not looking at 2nd place as that almost certainly means facing NZ. Scotland can certainly beat both England and Argentina and have to do that (as well as Georgia and Romania obviously) so as to avoid NZ.

I think g998's point is that none of the 3 main sides can feel too confident and they can't even wrap up the first 22 in cotton wool as Georgia would relish taking on a weakened side. This pool is intriguing.

by Irish Curry Thu 21 Jul 2011, 8:03 pm

I think Georgia will target the Scotland match as they will feel thats the match they will feel they could cause a shock in.
Its possible that Georgia beat the Scots
Scotland beat England
Arg beat Scotlang and England beat Arg Shocked

Its still harder for England to qualify from ths pool than it would be from one containing Austrlia ( who they have beaten at the last two world cups and in their last 2 meetings) and Italy who they have beaten every time they have played, last time beng a real spanking. Australia too wouldnt be unduely worried by such a group, they easily have the beating of Italy and could afford to lose to England and qualify comfortably anyway...and on paper they would be the strongest side anyway.

It is not an easy group for England to qualify from. The fact that there isnt a real stand out great team in there doesnt make it a weak group. That the 4th and 5th pool teams are also reltivley strong (for those pools) adds to the potential banana skins.

Id still be suprised if England ddnt qualify, but I think they had an easier job at the last world cup despite getting honked by a very strong south africa. The group stages allow you one loss, its when you lose two youre in trouble.

The key for any group is coming second, first is a bonus. Third is a kick in the nadgers. Only Wales have a tougher group to qualify from, where theres 3 teams in with a chance of second place.

by emack2 Thu 21 Jul 2011, 10:57 pm

Interesting comments "Don`t no why anyones worrying about NZ they`re
not very good?!!!" Priceless two of these sides have never beaten the All Blacks anywhere,the third never beaten them in a RWC.
"This group is the easiest group?"
Well I think this is the group of death if there is one Argentina and Scotland both have recent wins against each other.
But both have reasonable RWC records Scotland usually get out of there group.Argentina have only a full strength side at RWC times.
Certainly England on there recent form would hope to get through,as winners thus avoid either NZ or France.
You know what NZ can do but mostly you can`t stop them doing it,with France there either Kings or Clowns but they have a fair RWC record.
Frankly I doubt France will be too worried about winning there group but with them you just don`t know.
I think there is a very real chance of a stalemate with the 3 First choice teams all winning one each against each other.
Then it will be a matter results versus the rest of the group with bonus points or points difference telling.
I think the most likely group for giant killing will be Wales group Fiji or Samoa progressing would be no surprise at all.
Group four Australia and Ireland will almost certainly progress but if it`s a mudlark I`d fancy Irelands chances more.

Other than the competition being too big, the 6N don't want the extra competition - the Argies winning 7N might ruffle too many feathers.

Aaaaahhhh. I get it. Gee, you really had me stumped there Pete. You do meet a SH side in the pool. Got it. I guess my point with the original reference to SH was that you do not meet a decent SH side til the SFs. I meant the 3N teams. I think everyone else will meet them earlier except England, so relatively speaking it is an easy draw for England.

Mate I don't agree with you. Perhaps when we play in Scotland you could term the Boks as the Frosen attacking side, hence there were 3 close games in the past decade, of which Scotland won 2.

Apart from that we beat Scotland fairly convincingly.

Scotland beat South Africa comfortably in 2002. Wasn't close.

by funnyExiledScot Fri 22 Jul 2011, 2:49 pm

Ah yes - I remember that game in 2002. When you look at who played that day, you realise that Nikki Walker (who scored) and Nathan Hines really have been around a while. Gordon Ross was also a blast from the past. Quite a talented, if inconsistent, player that.

Im sure theres a reason that Argentina isnt in the 7 nations

Because it is in the SH and therefore too far away logistically. Or, they want to play the 3 top ranked sides perhaps.

Yeah so we have estblished that Argentina is in the southern hemisphere...so what is the answer to your first question? Think about it....

Other than the competition being too big, the 6N don't want the extra competition - the Argies winning 7N might ruffle too many feathers.

Plus a seven nations tournament would take even longer and decrease the time for the domestic season.

Am I going insane here?

Go back to the first question.....now imagine my reposnse was sarcastic......

Absolute classic Pete! I'm in stitches watching the miscomprehension of this one. Maybe if you highlight the comment it might sink in!

I just thought i'd carry on quoting the quote of a quote of a quote

Absolutely.

Aaaaahhhh. I get it. Gee, you really had me stumped there Pete. You do meet a SH side in the pool. Got it. I guess my point with the original reference to SH was that you do not meet a decent SH side til the SFs. I meant the 3N teams. I think everyone else will meet them earlier except England, so relatively speaking it is an easy draw for England.

Could you guys please stop this "quoting" business, my monitor can't handle the 3D effect.....

Maybe it is just my eyes

Sorry about that mate.

Ok

Look, if you guys can't agree, any chance you could take it outside? Wink
