Came for the latest rugby team news and scores - stayed for the rugby gossip, roasting and sledging of opposition players and teams.

@WilliamHill

Odds on Cammy Devlin to win golden ball (player of the tournament)

@SpritzandScrums @scrumming_ten As a neutral I am completely okay with this call. Players should never be going for a jackle with his tackler on the wrong side. Clearly affects the angle of the clear outs.
The problem is refs giving soft turnovers and don’t set the standards high enough so people expect this.

@BobMacTrack Compare that to Rory’s 46% fairways hit 🤯🤯 for first 2 days.
Bob missed the cut and Rory leading by 6 shots . . .

[Scott Cubitt @ScottCubitt2]

@ruaridh_jackson Or a discussion before that goes like: “it’s forecast to be a monsoon. Let’s take the 3 points when we can”

[Scott Cubitt @ScottCubitt2]

@Scotlandteam Fucking shambles.

Pick an experienced back 3
Kick points when you get a chance
Win a single attacking lineout

If we did any of these 3 we win this game.

[Scott Cubitt @ScottCubitt2]

@thistlerugbypod Amazing what we can do when we tried to play though

[Scott Cubitt @ScottCubitt2]

@thistlerugbypod It will be the death of me! Not like we have any promising second rows on the bench. . .

[Scott Cubitt @ScottCubitt2]

@nut_history @grok what was the outcome from the umpires to this play. Was anyone ejected after this play and how did they restart?

[Scott Cubitt @ScottCubitt2]

@haribaldijones Seed the top 8 teams- in a 6 pool format it’s a tad tricky but very easy to plan so on form 1 plays 8 in quarter and 2 vs 7 etc. on the other side of the draw. Then random draw for the rest. Problem solved. But that may be a bit too much common sense for world rugby.

[Scott Cubitt @ScottCubitt2]

@Ki1Jesse @OllieRitchie1 As a Scottish fan I fully agree. Feels harsh that we will likely get France in the last 16 when some 3rd place team will get Argentina but both New Zealand and SA have been shafted. The winner will come out of that absolutely battered and have to play France.

[Scott Cubitt @ScottCubitt2]

@TheRugbyPod You can see why the Boks and kiwis are put out by this draw.
For seed 1 &2 to meet in the QF really is a poor system.
As for Scotland- to get France in last 16 for finishing 2nd when some team finishing 3rd will get Argentina . . .
Maybe a whole new system is needed for 2031.

[Scott Cubitt @ScottCubitt2]

@ChrisSru880101 Lose to Uruguay and we might get a better last 16 opponent . . . If we make it through.

[Scott Cubitt @ScottCubitt2]

@AndyGoode10 @EnglandRugby @rugbyworldcup Until Rassie decides to throw the Italy game to get into the easier Half of the draw . . .

[Scott Cubitt @ScottCubitt2]

@Scotlandteam Win the group we get a 3rd place group team in the last 16.
Lose to Ireland and we get France.
Need to beat Ireland or France to get to the 1/4 finals. Lose both and we’re home before the quarters.

[Scott Cubitt @ScottCubitt2]

@THEGORGIETRUTH @thistlerugbypod England will likely get:

Italy in last 16
Aus QF
Ireland SF

[Scott Cubitt @ScottCubitt2]

@topofthemoonGW When a 3rd place team will get to play Argentina in the last 16 but a 2nd place Scotland will get France . . . Tough draw

[Scott Cubitt @ScottCubitt2]

@thepaulwilliams @ddungujoseph7 Nobody knows what this means- but it’s provocative. Gets the people goin.

[Scott Cubitt @ScottCubitt2]

@brettruganalyst I’d like to see both as legal. And that’s coming from a Scottish fan. It’s a great skill and keeps the guards honest and engaged. One foot behind the ball and make sure you are last man on feet at ruck.

[Scott Cubitt @ScottCubitt2]

@EnglandRugby @QuilterNations @O2 Really feel for the 2 guys not chosen as CC or VC or VVC

[Scott Cubitt @ScottCubitt2]

@leinsterrugby A few more marquee All Black signings and this Leinster team will have a real good chance next year!
