Do Scotland need to win this denying England a bonus point and hope Argies win with a bonus point win to qualify?? Not sure if I've got that right but it's a huge ask if so.Last edited by The Situation; 01-10-11, 08:18.Profit before people.

Originally posted by The Situation View PostBut if Argentina win without a bonus point tomorrow they'd all finish on 14 points. Does it not come down to points difference if it's a 3 way tie and in that case Scotland will go out unless they knock up a big score here?
A win by more than seven points = qualification as group winners and likely quarter-final against France if Argentina fail to win against Georgia. Qualifications as runners-up if Argentina beat Georgia with four of more tries.

He seems to have totally lost faith with the players the depth of quality they have and the results they get dont add up

Here Press Association Sport looks at the permutations in Pool B:
:: England qualify first, Argentina second
- England win and Argentina win.
- England lose by less than seven points and Argentina win.
- England win and Argentina lose but gain more bonus points than Scotland.
- England and Scotland draw and Argentina win.
:: England qualify first, Scotland second
- Scotland win by seven points or fewer and Argentina lose.
- Scotland and Argentina lose but Scotland gain more bonus points.
- England and Scotland draw and Argentina lose.
:: Scotland qualify first, England second
- Scotland win by more than eight points and Argentina lose.
- Scotland win with a four-try bonus point and Argentina win without a bonus point.
:: Argentina qualify first, Scotland second
- Argentina win with a four-try bonus point, Scotland win by eight points or more and England pick up no bonus points.
- Argentina win with a four-try bonus point and Scotland win with a four-try bonus point.
:: Qualification to be decided on points difference
- Scotland win by eight points or more and Argentina win.
Profit before people.

Argentina could never stretch the gap beyond 6 points in the second half despite numerous chances to do so. If Scotland could get a try, we'd really find out what England are made of."Worldly wisdom teaches that it is better for reputation to fail conventionally than to succeed unconventionally." - John Maynard Keynes

People can talk all they fucking want about the ball or kicking in general, but when O'Gara and Paterson are nailing these kicks for fun, Wilko and Sexton have questions to answer."Worldly wisdom teaches that it is better for reputation to fail conventionally than to succeed unconventionally." - John Maynard Keynes

Originally posted by The Situation View PostNo not futile, if they do beat England by 8 or more they need Argies to either lose or win with a bonus point to qualify, but I imagine Argentina winning without a bonus point is the most likely result in that game and Scots would be knocked out in that case.
Plus they would have the win of sending England off to face the AB'sTurning millions into thousands

Originally posted by KevIRL View PostIs there any way for both of them to go out?
looking forward to the expression on either coaches face as the ABs run in 50+ against these sorry crews playing negative percentage rugby"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Originally posted by The Situation View PostYou get the feeling that if they played to midnight that Scotland wouldn't get a try here.
England...fuck, words fail me."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

So, Scotland got as close as a Garryowen landing just infront of the English posts inside the last five minutes, where a successful chase and try would have kept them alive.
Given the state of Scottish rugby the past four years and the depth and talent within their squad - that's probably fair enough."Worldly wisdom teaches that it is better for reputation to fail conventionally than to succeed unconventionally." - John Maynard Keynes

Originally posted by Iago View PostGranted it's stupid o'clock but has anyone got any concrete or even crystal ball ideas on where the dollar is likely to go with regard to the euro over the next 3-5 years
Opportunity has come up where I could be taking a job that is based on dollars and I'm trying to get my head around the possible currency fluctuation impacts.
Looks like it's been fairly consistent with the dollar worth 72c -74c for the last three years ('09-'11), is that likely to continue or is anyone expecting a big move in either direction?

South Africa, NZ and Ireland are the only possible winners of the RWC to my mind. France have a great game in them but not a tournament. SA have started to come together quietly and with that afrikaaner self confidence Handling pressure and injuries are the key for Ireland and NZ.
It's getting tasty. The Irish backrow to deliver a complete game tmrw and the backs to start showing some teeth and I'll be a very happy bunny.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan
