The first half was a close game but Scotland owned the second half.

Weyhey! My lot Wales have just beaten England at Twickers even with several of the Welsh team stretchered off!

England out after losing to Australia. Wow that's a good team out and the host nation at that.
The All Blacks have had a soft entry and have already progressed though. They may be though but have not shown anything that looks like they can take the cup. Pros and cons to having a easy pool.
Japan beat Samoa and Japan still have a chance of going though. They need to beat the USA to go through.
I think that will be a good game to watch.............go the Brave Blossoms.

In order to progress, I think Japan will need to beat USA and Scotland lose to Samoa.
Based on the number of mistakes Scotland made against RSA that may very well happen.

Well England got crushed. Just watching Ireland v Italy. Tight game. 
Only England could manager that. First host nation ever to not progress to the 2nd round........... and since Canada have no chance, that leaves me hoping Japan beat the USA to progress.

In England's defence, they were in the "Group Of Death" but it was a very underwhelming performance. The toughest part of being the host and not making the knock-out stage is that you can't pack your bags and head home...
Not that I have anything against the Jocks, but it would have been fantastic to have seen Japan playing for a Q'final place this evening.
yes that would have been good. I have been impressed with Japan and it would have been good to see them go through.
Japans 28-18 victory over the United States today, makes them the first team to win three pool stage games and go out.
Chris:
Scotland get Australia in quarters.
Was impressed by the way they stood up to the bigger Samoans but can't see them pulling out a win against the Wallabies.
You guys want a plucky underdog? Root for Scotland, a nation of 5.3 million that usually plays way under its potential and skill.

I'm 'rooting' for The Brave Blossoms of Japan!
Japan played well and I'm sure they won a few new supporters at home. The next world cut is in Japan.
I don't consider Scotland underdogs. They are a team that can and do win big games.
They have my support for the game against Aussie.
The Quarter finals are this weekend.
South Africa v Wales
New Zealand v France
Ireland v Argentina
Australia v Scotland.

say what ?!?!
It all sounds a bit staged to me. Maybe a motivation move or a distraction ploy.
Guess they won't be able to blame him if the lose to the All Blacks this weekend.

If?
But yes, that is very strange.

Yes and it's a big if at that. I have not seen anything from the All Blacks so far in this world cup to install confidence.
Take it easy, open a beer and get ready for the semi-finals. I have no idea how old you may be Chris, but having watched the All Blacks go around since the 1970s I would confidently predict that they will get through.
The game kicks off 8:00am our time, so I will reach for a coffee, must be getting old. I have been watching them since the 70's as well.
Yeah they have what it takes to win but history shows France has beaten us at the world cup before.
All Blacks V France
AB's win 62 - 13.
