    So, do Ireland have a flight booked for Monday? I doubt it.

    As I said, it's their Union booking it for them and NOT the team. I'd imagine it's something to do with money and all that guff.

    At the same time, Ireland are in a completely different situation to Scotland.

    Good night Scotland.

    They didn't deserve it, to be honest. They're the worst team in the world for throwing away a game in the last few minutes.
    If you lose two games you can't expect to go through. France can count themselves very lucky.

    It's not going to do moral much good though, is it?

    .

    Not really. If we lose, we're out - same as Scotland. The only difference is that we don't expect to.

    Other than the last 10 minutes against Tier 2 nations, France scored 7 tries in 4 games. Shocking.

    They've been poor. IMHO, if a team throws a game, the way France did against NZ, then they've thrown the World Cup. They don't stand a chance.

    They booked the flight before the England game. If they'd won by 8 points they were through. It was in their hands.

    Tabloid papers saying Tindell misled RFU and MJ on his whereabouts last week on the night with the blonde.

    Also Haskell, Hartley and Ashton were involved in lewd behaviour with a maid in Dunedin hotel. Joke gone to far according to MJ. Have been repremanded by MJ.

    Dylan Hartley, Chris Ashton and James Haskell rough housing a maid. Mike Tindall being economical with the truth with the RFU on THAT Sunday night. Players have been reprimanded whatever that means.

    Haskell, Ashton, another who I didn't catch(Foden?), lewd behaviour, hotel maid.

    Johnson must have no control over the players. I had him pegged as a rule with an iron fist kinda guy but the players, Ashton in particular with his swan dives and carry on doesnt seem to have any respect for him.

    Overrated team bungling their way through the world cup making more impact in the tabloids than the competition. Doesnt say much for English rugby.

    Anyway, enough about the side show and back to the rugby.

    Be interesting to see Wales in action against Fiji. Fiji still have a chance if they get a try bonus and deny Wales right ?

    Slade looks completely out of place. Not that he's playing really badly or anything, he just looks 18 years old. Great lineout by Canada.
