Mehema koe ka tuoho, meinga ki te maunga tetei. (Maori saying).
If you should bow to greatness, let it be to a lofty mountain.
Come on the boys in black - no tripping up this time.
Thought Wales were the best out of the Northern Hemisphere teams...Dont write England off just yet

Georgia were immense
Every single Six nations team is underperforming massively, this generation up here simply lacks talent
We are light years behind the big three in ball skills, speed, fitness and tactics with a couple of honourable individual exceptions such as BO'D

The word is that Scotland are considering sending out the 2nd team against the All Blacks, relying on keeping the 1s team rested and ready for the final group game to go through. I'm not keen on the idea as while I expect to lose to NZ, I want us to give it our best go. I can understand the thinking though. |

I hope that's all press mind games and speculation.
Would be a shame if we don't make a game of it against the All-Blacks. The best Scottish players should be jumping at the chance to get stuck into the best in the world, and I would hope they would be dissapointed if this were true too.

.......and I'm a big English rugby fan! Comes back to thinking like winners and putting your body on the line. They take it one game at a time why cant they get at least to the semi's. Sport is as much about mental toughness as it is skill. Last 8 means only 2 games to the final and anything can happen - including food posioning ay South Africa! |

NZ will want Scotland to put out there best team as even if Scotland beat NZ they will want a tough work out in preparation for the real business end of the tournament. Hey if McFadden can do it against France you never know. ps Thanks for the invite to be Scottish - you have had some Kiwis play for you before ;-) |

Nice colour clash in the Scotland / NZ game today. That silver kit of the AB's was pretty awful.
Only saw second half - looked like NZ were told to have scrummage practise for the 2nd half to prepare for business end of the tournament.
Tonga have been the biggest surprise so far and performed well in all their games.
Enjoyed the Eng/ Samoa match - glad to see Eng got it together in the last quarter.

Nice end to the group stages this weekend with every group having a qualification decider.
England/Tonga, Ireland/Argentina, Wales/Fiji, Scotland/Italy.
Considering the group stages were supposed to be mostly non-competitive and a bit boring, it was gracious of the home nations to be rubbish to provide some excitement.
