It's funny how we've just won by miles against a team every English rugby dad told you were "targeting Scotland" and somehow it's still a bit deflating because you know what we have to beat to progress.

This world cup draw is actually, very unfairly, not allowing anyone to appreciate just how good this team are, because it's just not as good as Ireland and SA.

And if they don't meet again, it could easily be IRE V SA final.

There are Scotland teams of the relatively recent past that might well have lost that game.

Yeah. Even reading the BBC or twitter and you'd think we scraped it and we're lucky to get anything. We won 45-17 against a team that would probably best Wales.

Speaking of which: put another shrimp on the barby in honour of our Antipodean  friends?

Suppose they just need deflect from the absolute neck of being drawn in a group with Auchinleck Talbot and Linlithgow Rose.

Does feel a bit deflating even after a win like that. 
 

hopefully get business done early v Romania then all eyes on Ireland 

Romania will be the B-ish team and we will win by 50+. I can see all the guys who haven't played yet starting that one. It doesn't really matter how much we score, just that we get the BP, which we will.

Not really. If we could beat them by 100 points we'd have a chance of qualifying without a bonus point against Ireland.

I’d imagine our reserves will fancy their chances of doing that. Romania are the worst team I’ve seen at this tournament by a fair distance.
