Brisbok, you are almost apologetic here. May I remind you that "a win is a win, is a win"!! Us Aussies are forever being reminded of Scotland's win against the Wallabies in Newcastle in 2012 by 9 to 6! I'll take an advantage on the scoreboard at 'full time', no matter how it is achieved, penalty...

Cyclopath, I mentioned that fact to Mrs D, as I was reading that beautifully crafted piece to her this morning!

Dream on Blue, dream on! I hope you find solace in the "theoretical"!!

So true, Braveheart81. The "fair dinkum" section of the 2015 RWC commences when the whistle blows for the start of QF 1! What happened in the past is totally irrelevant, and deserves no further analysis!!

Nah! My wish is for four great QF matches; two magnificent Semis; and a memorable Final, that's all!!!

Cardiffblue, I want it to be a close one, but I'm not the one using terms like "Scotland are rubbish", and "Wallabies by 40". On reflection, you are right, Ireland and Wales wont be tarnished by the performances of England and Scotland in this RWC.

Given the strength of our 23, and assuming the accuracy of comments by many of you here, about how 'ordinary' Scotland is, is it possible that this match could turn out to be an embarrassment for NH Rugby, and put Scottish Rugby back five years? I haven't seen Scotland play since that pseudo...

qwerty51, like all the other 'fringe players' Sam must be "trained to perfection", given the number of sessions they have all completed!

Is that because MC is still trying to choose between Mumm and Carter?!!!

HJ, it's times like this that one appreciates "being retired"!

Tahtrajic, after 45 years of marriage, she knows what to expect from me! Mrs Doug is as much a Rugby fanatic as moi, as is our Daughter in Canada. (She's the one who told Richie McCaw that he was a "dirty player" when she met him in a night-club in Whistler, a couple of years ago)! Gotta love...

This waiting is worse than impending child-birth!!

"Come on Aussie, come on"!!

I tipped us to beat England by three tries to two, and missed out by one (English) try. For this match, I tip the Wallabies by four tries to one, with successful penalty kicks probably even by match-end!

Robbin Williams, the late American actor/comedian, once said "everyone you meet has a major issue in their lives"! Given all this was going on in AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)'s life at the same time as the RWC, and given his high standard of play, so far, speaks volumes for his character.

Cheika and his coaching staff have us 'scratching our heads', so perhaps this is just a ploy to further stuff up the minds of the Scottish camp!

I'm sure there are several uninjured ('fringe') players who also want to be selected in the 23 for this match!

BDA, like you, I live on the beautiful Gold Coast, but unlike you, I will be getting up at 12:30, to be ready for the GEM telecast which starts at 12:45, leading up to kick-off at 1:00 am (Queensland time)! Unlike me, you may prefer to watch only the last 30 minutes of this match, however, I...

As this match is on Monday, Michael Cheika said the team will be announced on Friday, so we all have to wait an extra day! Pity we aren't playing a 'full-strength' Scotland.

Must-watch footage. Absolutely brilliant!!
