An unlikely outcome from the Ireland-Scotland showdown involving bonus points and the margin of victory could see South Africa eliminated.
Assistant coach Mike Catt dismissed suggestions Ireland could collude with Scotland in Saturday’s pivotal Rugby World Cup clash in Paris in order to send home South Africa.
Catt says Ireland’s coaches are fully aware of the permutations but, unsurprisingly, gave short shrift to the notion his side are in “cahoots” with the Scots.“I think he was asked the question, wasn’t he? He didn’t actually say it was match-fixing, did he?“That stuff is just white noise in the background. No, we’re not going to go in cahoots with Scotland.
Extending those impressive streaks by once again defeating their Six Nations rivals would comfortably secure progression from the so-called ‘Pool of Death’ as group winners and avoid any unnecessary nail biting.
