Their attitude is so bad that I'd actually support Scotland against them.
On the plus side, you'll be able to enjoy watching England get buttf@cked in the quarter finals by Fiji.
And, of course, then there's England - who have the irritating habit of getting far further in the WC than they have any right to, and playing Fiji then France/SA...there's actually a chance of getting to the final when it really, really shouldn't be possible with this team, especially if SA pull something out of the bag against France.
Then again, there's an equal chance that we'll get trounced by Fiji. Life in the Borthwick era is weird.
Noise, randomness, ballistic uncertainty.
FRA NZ SAf IRE FIJ WAL ENG - you could see any 2 of that 7 getting to the final when we know that when the pressure comes on big team don’t perform in this tournament when it matter
Me - they're called legs!
Ian McGeechan disagrees... Suppose he knows his rugby.
If only the Ireland team would similarly write off Scotland's chances, but sadly they're too professional for that.
they are astonishingly inconsistent.

I’ve also grown weary of TMO interventions in this WC and would be happy to see them used only if requested to do so by the ref. In the Portugal v Aus match yesterday, Portugal were never going to win but they appeared to score in 2nd half after a lot of good work to get themselves into a scoring position. A driving maul went over, Australia penalised for infringing (Yellow given) - try awarded to hooker - every neutral fan was happy. The TMO interjected - “ball was clearly dropped before being touched down” - none of the replayed angles clearly showed the ball being dropped…perhaps my eyes are duff but eventually ref reversed decision and to rub salt into the wounds, declared that a penalty try could not be awarded either, because it wasn’t beyond doubt that the carded players actions prevented the score. That felt wrong to me. My views were not at all influenced by the presence of the excellent Portuguese hooker in my fantasy team .
