The fact you can even say "imagine at the end of this year saying Scotland won the world cup" shows how far we've come. Getting through the pool would be outstanding. I just hope they keep playing their game, win lose or draw, and do themselves proud. The effort they put in, and the game they play, that team deserves it.
@@pauljamison3340why? S Africa are good but tend to start slow in tournaments and they looked good against wales, but they were made to look good as wales were terrible. It’s a game Scotland can win.
As a Scot, being talked up makes me very nervous, but their time to finally prove themselves in the white hot heat of battle is now or never with the team they have (injuries permitting). There have been games in the past where I've fancied a win against the Boks only to be disappointed, but the same old story has to be rewritten sometime. The Boks are just so formidable and Ireland are an absolute machine that never stops. We will have to be almost perfect to beat either of them and even then it may not be enough. Only time will tell - bring it on!
I hope I haven’t jinxed Scotland! One thing too is scotlands shown resilience when they’re behind on the scoreboard. Something not many teams can do. Best of luck 🏴
Thanks for the kind words 🏴 Playing South Africa first up is a real opportunity. I feel a lot is dependent on whether Pollard plays and his match fitness. Can't wait!
I'm happy with a blaze of glory, having been a Scotland fan through the 00s just scoring beautiful tries and putting on a hell of a show is good stuff to me.
im scots and im not worried cos in the end i can absolutely guarantee they will fight like lions against rs a and ireland and thats good enough for me....WC 2023 hear scotland roar
I think if scotland gets out of the pool , I believe we will have pivotal injuries that will stop us from advancing . I hope this will not be the case . Whatever is in the future, I will enjoy the World Cup . Tonga if they keep their men in check may do well in the pool. The best to all that are participating.
In this instance I think we can be talked up, because we will be far from favourites. I think we have a chance against the boks, albeit a small one (10% I would guess) and a similar one against Ireland, maybe slightly lower. One thing is certain, and this is we will be fun to watch. I genuinely believe that if any other team than Scotland was playing this kind of game, they would become my second team. The French are historical allies of the Scots, and that may play a small part. We genuinely have nothing to lose, which will suit our mentality, and an expansive game full of midfield trickery is both the most romantic and the most pragmatic option
The Springboks coaching staff do not share your pessimism - they have spoken about the real danger that Scotland pose . The first game for the Springboks is quite stressfull for us Boks supporters. I am expecting a thrilling match.
@@fredperry523 I genuinely think it will be a cracker, we will have a go, we are a proud underdog, but I expect the Boks to win. Respect, because you looked ominous.
Even though many of my ex-countrymen play for Scotland, I expect Scotland to blow it under pressure again. They talk themselves up and then blow fuses in the heat of the action. I expect the same again. Although, I hope to be proven wrong.
If Scotland take their game fearlessly to SA and to Ireland, there is every chance they could beat one of them and that I guess will be the plan. How it plays out from there is difficult to guess.
Love your work, Uggy. Pithy, insightful , and brief! Always a genius move to have vids of approximately 5 mins. Of course, Scotlands''s strength is their ability to welcome foreignors. Quite a few Saffas in their squad: imagine if they beat the boks. It's going to be a sizzling game.
Made my day ❤️ thanks mate! Not sure what training programs they put these guys on, but bloody hell they improve like crazy (for me I’m thinking of Tuipolotu and Dempsey). Would love to see Scotland have success!
Uggy… I love You. If Scotland win the World Cup 😂 I would FKN love that but trying to be Scottish and be miserable about our chances just to lessen the blow 😂😂 I genuinely do feel we play the most fun rugby to watch in the NH. I want us to convert that into winning the big games now, especially getting one in over the cheating Irish
@ABC-dw7pe. I wish the Scots didn't introduce their anti-Irish sectarianism into this rugby world cup. It's usually confined to your football. No-one wants to see you bring it into rugby. Thank you.
I think SAFFA will blitz Scotland in the opening game, but Scotland will pip Ireland and go through. I have a feeling the Paddies will underperform badly.
If Scotland get knocked out in the pool of death everybody’s gonna be harping on about an unfair draw and what a shame. When England were knocked out in the pool of death in 2015 everybody was delighted and ridiculed them. Just saying…
Perhaps that was because, as usual, you were hyping yourselves up and talking about the semis and final before you'd even got out of your group? That as usual, you were puffing yourselves up on the world stage?

I agree, it’s a long shot but on the day, they might just do it. I am Scottish though so I might be a little biased lol 😂🥳
Scotland could become the Japan of 2023...and go much further...and it would glorious!
Absolutely!
Hey - don't say that, you will jinx my boks team again ! It's always a pleasure watching Finn Russell & team play.
Scotland are so good to watch and their fitness is second to none.
Very excited for the Argentina preview
It’s on the way! Should be out this weekend 👍 on the grind 🤣

Thanks for the comment bro!! Always helps the channel.

Great stuff Uggy, I've now seen most of your back catalogue, insightful and pithy, great stuff.
Cheers mate!!

Get this thing 1 mil views bro
Haha the dream
Hope your team is ready for that Bok team ,a miracle in france is needed😂
I've said before. If we get out of the group we don't have to fear anyone.
We just need to get out of the group.
How we have progressed in the last year making it through the pool of death is doable cant wait to see these guys play SA in france!

I hope not!

Your optimism is cute. Enjoy your dream.
Bold statement on said imagination, but the Scots would definitely give South Africa and Ireland a run for their money.
Leaving a 4th comment for the algorithm while I watch the video a 3rd time lol anyone but the Boks let’s go Ireland
🤣
