Pity Scotland had 16 players, the 15 picked by the manager/coach and the referee.

I think last week was more to do with Japan being good than the Springboks being poor, so I fear Scotland may not have a good afternoon…but I hope they do.

The sprinboks might not be that good. Their next game will tell a lot. Having said that Japan looked pretty awesome at times. Hopefully Scotland by anything.

Even after their brave performance against the Springboks, I don’t really see it as Japan being brilliant, more as South Africa being poor. Due to this I can’t really say it’s going to be a close contest.

Scotland to win if they turn up…..Laidlaw will kick his penalties and Scotland’s backs will offer more threat than the Spingbock’s did…look out for Bennett….
But if they are not near their best look out.

Other than the USA’s games, I am completely at ends at predicting Pool B now. Samoa, Japan and Scotland all very tightly grouped at 10th,11th and 12th have conjured their own poor man’s “Pool of Death”. Japan will have all the belief in the world that they can top this group. A tight four day turnaround though and the point of difference Hogg ought to bring slightly swing this in Scotland’s favour in my view, but only marginally.

Scotland aren’t an obdurate bunch of boneheads. Won’t have the arrogance to only accept a try.
They will take any 3 pointers coming their way. Scotland to win although I’d much prefer to see japan make Qtrs.

Plan B for Japan?

DDD?

Only wimps whimper!

Think this might be a step too far for Japan after their heroics so will go for Scotland by 6ish

I thought the Scots looked pretty decent against France in their warm up and were not far off pinching a good victory in Paris

Still, we know how often they flatter to decieve so wouldn’t have any money on them.

Although having just looked at Paddy Power, the odds on a Japanese win are 11/2 and for them to win by 6-10 points is 19/1 – both of which seem rather long to me. That could be worth a tenner…

I am going for Scotland by one score.

I believe Scotland are a far better side than they get credit for, and the result at the weekend will hope them to focus.

I will be there so all I actually hope for is a good game.

Almost agree entirely, only difference being I have Japan by 9!

From the world rankings this would be an upset if Scotland won.

Partly for that reason, and partly because I think Japan have the togetherness and mental aptitude to not let the chance they have given themselves go past, I’m going for Japan by 8.
