'We're not going to go into cahoots with Scotland' – Ireland assistant coach Mike Catt dismisses idea of a 'match-fixing' conspiracy.
Mike Catt dismissed suggestions of Ireland conspiring with Scotland out of hand, saying they will do everything in their power to win their final game against Scotland and top Pool B.With Ireland, South Africa and Scotland all still in the quarter-final race, one of those teams is set to drop out of the competition at the conclusion of the pool stages.
If the Scots were to finish top due to a superior points difference, Ireland would finish second ahead of South Africa because they beat the Springboks 13-8 in pool play. “Yeah 100 percent, that stuff is just white noise in the background. No, we’re not going to go in cahoots with Scotland,” Ireland assistant coach Catt said.
