Christophe Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) Have any of the Scots born players had any game time in the three games played? Both have been huge. David Scott has done really well but Matty Russell has been outstanding. One of the players of the tournament for me (so far).

HibeeJibee Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Fantastic to reach the KO stage and great opportunity facing NZ. Positively, despite the strange format, in the end the inter-group games had no bearing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) Only England v France QF, unfortunately. BBC's contract was for 1 game each matchday/round, plus 1 other match. Put another way, they've rights to 7 of the 28 ties. In practice, that means them showing England each weekend in the groupstage, QF, SF (assuming they don't messup v France), plus the Final. They used the final pick to show Wales-Italy on the opening weekend, a doubleheader with England-Australia in Cardiff. On one hand it is poor that a World Cup, played here, with all 4 Home Nations present, isn't better-covered. On the otherhand RL is niche®.

It's certainly free to view on Virgin at the moment. Not sure if this is a taster to try and get folk to take out a subscription? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No8. Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Wales absolutely destroying Argentina at the moment...40-6 with still ten minutes to go 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 The Kiwis beat Scotland 40-4, which is a decent performance from Scotland. It's good that they got a try and hopefully the side can kick on from a hugely successful world cup. Having someone like Danny Brough leading the team is a massive plus. Australia smashed USA 62-0 earlier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Mental game yesterday between Italy and Fiji, Fiji had 4 players yellow carded in 8 minutes and at one stage were playing with 11 vs 15. Italy didn't concede a penalty until the last 10 minutes. Italy won 37-31. I assume the ref had a good dinner last night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
