Just back from work. How has it been so far?

Also, if someone makes me a Japan Rugby AV from the South Africa match, I'll use it after the Scotland game, win or lose.

there's no law that would prevent being able to hand-off the ball in the maul

on the flip side, defenders can just lie on the ball-carrier once the maul goes down

The big issue for the maul is that refs are not policing truck and trailer consistently making them even harder to defend than they already are.

More teams should just hold off the engagement and smash the poo poo out of the bloke at the back to stop tedious rolling mauls looking for penalties.

Do Scotland tire after 60+ minutes? Does Japan have the conditioning to be running those moves late in the game? because if they do, they are sure to score tries

Scotland are pretty solid over 80 minutes as long as they don't spend the traditional 60 minutes of it defending.

I liked the part where Lamont came in from the side, and started walking ontop of the ruck.

Some stats from the Scotland - Japan game, 192 tackles shows just how hard Japan were making things.

Good to see Samson Lee back, even if it's on the bench. That's probably the best team that Wales have left, hopefully they do well.

Scotland make 10 changes for the match against the USA, obviously some guys still carrying a couple of knocks or not recovered from the game. Looks to be a fairly solid side again though, stil don't know how Strokosch got into the squad though.

I've always quite like Strokosch, he's solid and has a good work rate. What got him a place ahead of Kelly Brown, Blair Cowan or John Barclay though is a mystery.

Yeah, that's what I've thought. He's always been solid and a good worker but like you say, Brown, Cowan and Barclay are all better than him.

Is it just me or did Argentina gently caress up scoring a try there?

A huge gently caress up but Gorgodze getting carded is probably better in the long run.
