Yeah me too.

Japan are playing this all wrong. They would steam-roller Russia if they just kept the ball and marched up the field. Their kicking has been clueless so far.

I am already regretting putting Japan +10 points in the prediction competition. They are going to win this by nearer 40. Massive partizan crowd, much improved year on year, and up against Russia who really aren't very good.

Been watching the Saffers too much..

The Saffers like to steamroll sides though by running through the middle of the pitch, they are accused of lacking invention. Bizarrely, that sort of basic rugby is exactly what Japan need to revert to. Their kicking has been dreadful but also they are overdoing all these stupid flick passes that ends up with them losing yet more ground.

I can't believe they will play a worse 40 minutes that this in the rest of the tournament..

Try has to stand?

Apparently lost control? Really?

Much better from Japan. Exactly what they haven't been doing all game, working through the phases.
