F*cking hell. You’d almost think it’s a conspiracy to make sure Japan qualify. When was the last time you saw a squint feed penalised - Price in 2018?

However, I don’t think Japan are any great shakes.

Wasn't just a squint feed, ref said there was no hook.

Fine, they wanted to play on to go for a losing bonus point, but why the f**k would they choose to scrum in that position rather than just tap and go?

There hasn’t been a straight put-in at a scrum in a single game of international rugby this decade.

At the end of the day, Scotland shouldn't be expecting favours from anyone let alone tier 2 Nations in order to qualify ahead of another tier 2 Nation in their group.

It's in your own hands Scotland, in spite of your spinelessness against the Irish. No excuses acceptable.

This. We are going to have to score 4 tries now and win by Seven, just in case Japan also get 4 tries. It's still in our own hands, but today's result has not helped....
Japan are looking after Japan, not there fault....

If we beat Japan and hold them to no bonus points we're through. Assuming that Ireland don't draw vs Samoa with a BP.

This is assuming we beat Russia with a BP, which isn't a given.

This is what will happen Guaranteed. Any I will repost this next week. We will beat Japan on a 4 1 scoreline. This will allow pathetic Ireland to top group and avoid ABs and will send Japan through in second place with us out...

You said just a wee while ago that we would pump Japan and invited us to bookmark it!

This is beautifully set up for us to be 24-9 ahead on three tries in the last 10 minutes in their 22, give away a ridiculous penalty after butchering it which lets them off and ultimately leads to a Japanese try with a couple of minutes to go, then fail to field the kick-off and cough up another penalty with the clock in the red.

This this this... Obviously the ridiculous penalty will be controversial in the extreme

Cannae really complain about needing a full house after the Ireland game and needing Tier 2 nations to do you favours.
 

Absolutely as well. Relying on tier 2 nations to do us favours is minter extraordinare!

And it'll be so peak-SCOTLAND to win by 6 e.g 35-29

Don't see why people are so upset about people wanting Japan as the host nation to do well - a tournament like this is always better if the hosts do well and had Japan been in a different group I would have been wanting them to qualify too (and indeed in an ideal world we would have both beaten Ireland and qualified from this group).
