Rugby World Cup Standings as of a few minutes ago...
the final games in the pool stage should be quite interesting ; ) ...
Assuming Scotland get a bonus point win against Russia on Wednesday then your âBrave Blossomsâ need to win, draw or lose by 7 or less against Scotland on Sunday.
Iâm hoping they do one of those, itâd be a big achievement and fantastic on home soil. ...
Japanese fans are wearing their hearts on their sleeves...
There is even a Japanese expression for enthusiastic newcomers... "Niwaka fans" are 'bandwagon fans' or 'weekend fans' Another match to watch will be England vs. France... ...
No, Scotland still have two games to play including against Japan.
Donât forget the whole âbonus pointâ thing, win=4, win and score 4 tries=5. So Scotland could end up on 15 points with two bonus point wins. However if Japan lose to Scotland by 7 points or less they too get a losing âbonus pointâ, so also 15 points. ...
Scotland murdered Russia and picked up a bonus point...
looking forward to the final games of the pool stage this weekend... it may come down to coaching for the Blossoms... Casey
I have tickets for the QFs in Tokyo!
Hoping for Blossoms v Boks and Blacks v Ireland! C'mon Nippon! Banzai! Woohoo!
Typhoon â19 will hit Japan on the weekend...
It's currently building in strength and might be upgraded to a "super typhoon". Matches canceled due to the typhoon will be considered as a "draw"
It would be a very fortunate outcome for the home team.
Nobody likes a sporting result to be decided off the field so letâs hope it goes ahead. And Iâm shouting for the Brave Blossoms.
a couple of matches were canceled including England vs. France : (
A decision on Japan vs. Scotland will be made on Sunday morning local time... at the moment it looks like it will be a go.
Wales...to lift the tophy
That's my prediction. I know the All Blacks are always the favorites. Hoping for a Welsh surprise. Anybody else filled out the Bloomberg bracket (RUGB GO). I got the Scotland - Ireland, Japan - Ireland, Uruguay - Fiji and Uruguay - Georgia games wrong.
