The 2 surprise packages of the tournament so far, meeting in sunny Salford tonight. I doubt there's that much between the sides, and the odds more reflect the fact that the Scots need to win this game, whereas the USA don't, due to the bizarre structure of the competition more than anything else.
Both teams have a set of half backs which England could use.
I think the 2 games Scotland have played will have taken more out of them, and they also have the curse of Ian Millward tipping them, so I'm taking a bit of the 9/4 on USA for a bit of interest. Draw backers might get a run for their money on this one too.
Tend to think desire will win this one and prices look about where I thought they would be, but it's a no bet match for me in the circumstances. If I wasn't in the pub I'd no doubt be having a go in-running at some stage.

I imagine the fact that USA have just over a week of rest before the QF somewhat negates the fact that they are already through. Better to keep the momentum going, whereas if they had just a short gap they would probably have rested a bunch.

This is why Wales are gone and USA are still here. You need at least one quality half-back - Paulo has just been too good for the rubbish he has been up against.

I thought it looked down from the front on angle, but a little surprised they didn't look from the other one. Only needs to touch the ground though, no matter how light it was.

Brilliant tackle in the end to stop the try on one side.
Alibert hasn't ruled a forward pass in that position in years of superleague reffing, weird how he's started now.

I just rewound it a few times and from being 100% sure it wasn't maybe now only 70/30 it wasn't.
Why the TMO only took 1 look to decide tho is mind boggling.
