Proper Mannies Rugby

[Devanha Red]

I dinna like rugby and I like scotland even less but not rescheduling the Japan game if necessary is a ludicrous decision.

Makes a mockery of the tournament but then again who can take a world cup played with a squashed ball in a year that ends with an odd number seriously.

Have to agree Devanha. Shambles

My old boy is nae amused as he has tickets to 2 of the QFs and he had the potential to see Scotland again. (He was at Russia).

Pointless tournament now

That english tot Andy Gilpin said scotland are in the same position as Italy and their game won't be rescheduled so scotland's won't be either.

Eh? Italy would have to beat the All Blacks. Never going to happen. Scotland only have to beat Japan, infinitely plausible.

It really does make the tournament null and void. Bit like the world cup being held in Qatar. Possibly the single most openly corrupt thing ever to happen in the world of sport.

Whether Italy could beat the All Blacks isn't the point, the game should still have been played. As should the England - France game. Those teams now have a big advantage over everybody else by having to play one game fewer.

It can't be that hard to play the games on another day.

While it's true that ideally the wap game should also be rescheduled the jock game 100% needs to be played for the tournament to retain it's validity.

Not playing that game seriously alters the course of the competition.

Madness.

I hnna been following this but do I understand correctly that there's a typhoon going to cause some games to be postponed but instead of re-scheduling they're just going to finish the group and tot up a game short?

[Devanha Red]

Jocks are on about taking legal action against whatever body organises the world cup if their game is cancelled and not rescheduled.

[Devanha Red]

Jock game to go ahead. Good times.

Ah well at least Scotland's usual capitulation will keep at least one obnoxious **** happy.
