Please Leave All Unfounded Optimism at the Door

Decided at the last minute to go through to Edinburgh to see Scotland's first warm up game for the rugby world cup against Ireland. We won. Just. I am still not vastly optimistic for our chances in the world cup - well, not unless they decide to move our try line five meters up the field - especially seeing as we're in the same group as England, who looked discouragingly good in the highlights that I saw. Although I don't understand why they're suddenly playing in black strips, unless part of the plan is to freak out the opposition by looking like the New Zealand All Blacks from a distance. Wish we'd thought of that.
