It was obvious that Scotland wanted off the ice as quickly as possible during their game against RCF. They meekly conceded 2-9 to the Russians after only 6 ends and there must be serious doubts about their ability to recover form in time for their next game. After scoring 100% in the previous game, Bruce Mouat only managed 67%, probably one of the poorest percentages of anyone in the whole competition. Making that worse was the fact that the other 3 players had 90%, 88% and 90%.
RCF now head the table with 10 wins, also guaranteeing a top 6 finish and must be favourites for an automatic semi-final spot. Sweden play later and have 9 wins. Scotland stay on 8 wins, which will possibly be good enough to save them. USA now also have 8 wins after beating Denmark 8-3 after 7 ends. Canada and Norway both have 7 wins and play against each other later.
There is still a threat to some of these 6 teams from 3 teams, all with designs on a top 6 place. Switzerland are still the main threat, as they can finish with 8 wins. Italy can reach 7 wins and, after their defeat by Scotland Japan have won 3 consecutive games and can also make 7 wins. Either Canada or Norway will have 7 wins after tonight and have one more game to play.
