So that is it - we failed to qualify but will finish 3rd in a group that contained the two finalists from the last World Cup and one of the quarter finalists.
Considering where we were in the world rankings when the draw was made for this competition that has to go down as over achieving of the highest quality.
There were some bad decisions made in last night’s game but to be fair they went both ways so we cannot really complain.
The good news for the next World Cup draw is that we will at least be among the second seeds so should not end up in another “group of death”. Most of our side are young so the future is looking bright if they continue to play as they have done in this campaign.

Darn. But, considering all that was against them (as you said), they did well and you all should be proud. :)
I imagine there's a bit of a hungover feeling in Scotland, eh?
Sorry y'all didn't take top honors. Still kicked a whole lot of arse, though, and that's always something to be proud of.
One word..... PRIDE.
