You'd almost think the way the DUP have carried on, they are a sleeper Sinn Fèin cell. Sammy Wilson, Arlene, Paisley Jr of late has done more for Irish unity than SF or the IRA could ever have done thanks to Brexit. I still find it mad that the DUP actively backed Brexit and to the ''clean break'' t...

Do you speak a second, third or well, c'mon now, a fourth??!!! What do you love about it? Do you get a chance to speak it often? And have you even became so good in your second or third language, that you've forgotten or mixed up words in your native tongue? I speak English and Scottish Gaelic. My G...

It's been fantastic.

Possibly Scotland's worst performing tournament, but an absolute joy.

Only issue was the very late/or early KO times ; but what a tournament and hopefully it goes back to Japan at some point.

Rugbaidh

Love the place. Been three times (mostly Dublin/Drogheda/Belfast) but it's a cliché, but I feel a common bond with Irish more so than English people. People are lovely all across these islands, but there's definitely an at ease/easy going-ness about Scots and Irish and if stereotyping, English are a...

I'd certainly be happy to give him more rope if he's not fully in charge of his team. Likewise. I didn't quite realise/think of that either regards coaching team. Give him the Six Nations but the SRU should give him free reign to choose his team. I don't know if he's the answer, we are so bi-polar ...

You never know, if Ireland can get a try before HT. You never know.

Have to agree.

Was thinking that within 5 minutes.

Probably best we are home and re-assess for the 6 Nations.

Feck me, NZ are some team!

Apologies for butting in here, but is pretty much everyone in here an Afrikaaner?

And again, sorry for detracting but is Dutch basically understandable to Afrikaans?

I can't believe someone like Ronnie Campbell - a so called life-long socialist, who is stepping down at the next election i.e. soon, who is 76 years old - is voting, or very much leading to voting for this deal. The likes of Stephen Kinnock, Melanie Onn too. Do they realise no matter what way they ...

I think he should go. We are like mini-France with the bi-polar performances/results. We need a whole new outlook. There are things about Toonie I like e.g not afraid to drop people ; but then again that's been his downfall to a certain extent too. I think he'll stay for another 6N, and given a targ...

Rugbaidh

Not what you want to happen, but what do you guys think will happen regarding Toonie?

I think he may well be given the 6 Nations and set a three victory target regarding his future.

If it came down to a Celtic final, and I'd then have to just my Goidelic cousins over my Brottonic ones

Depends totally on what French side turn up.

Then again, Wales haven't exactly been great this WC - but got the job done in all four games - and that is what a good side does, wins but doesn't necessarily win well.

I think OZ might upset England. Nothing more than a gut feeling.

My Grandad always said he was a 'Gael' first and 'Scot' second, so most definitely behind Ireland next week!

Sin agad e Èireann!

Rugbaidh

As a Gàidhlig speaker - means I am a Gael - and my grandfather even referred to himself as a Gael first and foremost then a Scot, so I'll be supporting Irish pals across Sruth na Maoile. NZ is a lovely place, with amazing people ; but incredibly arrogant sports fans so go on Ireland and get this done!

Rugbaidh

Well done Japan! Won all four games, so they are the best team in the group, the table never lies. What a support, what a team, their never give up attitude and fast paced, brilliant handling skills. Thoroughly deserved. Being Scottish, it's incredibly disappointing, but it was going to be an uphill...

40 minutes for Toonie to save his job? I think we are out ; but if we can get back in to the game and another ''gallant defeat''will probably keep him in the job ; but if Japan go and give us an absolute hiding along the lines of 42-10 etc then I think he'll probably have to go. Hate to say it, but ...

As a Gàidhlig Scottish speaker, I wish my fellow Gaels good luck next week and go on, please knock out the arrogant All Blacks.

Rugbaidh

From a Scottish perspective, we would be getting absolute pumped by NZ next week anyway, so it's probably best to bow out now and save ourselves even further embarrassment and it'll be great to see the hosts go marching on.

Whit? Stereotype much?

Most of us are in full praise of Japan, they've been superb and we are just too slow, dumb and not good enough to compete against them today.

Rugbaidh

P.S Is it not too late to cancel this game? Maybe going out with a non-playable draw would've been better.

Rugbaidh

What a team Japan are.

Fast, strong, powerful, fit and just an unbelievable and unbreakable team spirit.

Fair dues and it'll be great to have the hosts in the QFs. I hope they push SA all the way!

Scotland, just terrible. Never should have given Toonie the job.

Rugbaidh

When was the last time a game was cancelled at a major tournament in rugby or football? I honestly cannot remember.

Rugbaidh

Being Scottish, I'm always amazed and new ways we find to lose. The two games since the Irish game have been a hell of an improvement but still, that Irish game, FFS, they are a good side but to get absolutely thrashed 27-3 is possibly going to cost us. We can all have bad days, but when we have the...

It's frustrating enough be Scottish, but being Fijian must be more so.

So much athleticism, talent, power and skill. Yet.

Missed the game, but got the highlights on. Russia - have done well throughout the WC ; thought no one really steamrolled until now, but they were obviously tiring - still, job done and a bit of a point proved by Scotland. Again 0 points against. Yes, yes the opposition etc ; but the way the lads ha...

I'm no prophet, but had a bad feeling before the Ireland game. Had a good feeling before Samoa. Have that seem feeling again for tomorrow. Scotland-40 @ 11/7 odds looks very good.

I think Japan will win tbh. 4 day turnaround is going to be a killer for the Scots...some first teamers will have to be involved against Russia. And Japan are a very good team...

If you know anything about Scotland and our mentality of 'glorious' failure, this has Scotland to win by 6 pts written all over it. A dogged, ugly game with some dubious referee decisions. Scotland can't complain, you make your own bed and to lose the way we did to Ireland is the reason we are needi...

Indeed, Lam you daftie ; but nae complaints fae me. The reason we are needing some fortune is because of that first performance against Ireland. Absolutely horrendous and gutless.
