    Shocking performance but it's not a surprise really, this has been coming for a while

    Eire actually means burden.

    Éire is the Irish word for the 26 counties. It's deliberately being used to exclude fans and players from the north.

    No backplay from us, one out runners is all we have in their 22. Japanese backplay is stuff we can only dream of

    We are so slow and static. This is definitely the worst performance by an Irish rugby team.

    Fair play Japan. Caught us in the long grass Nd obvious prepped for this game like we did for Scotland.

    Totally different conditions , we are no where near our last yr form .

    Can't blame the ref. Ireland are very poor.
    Ireland have been poor.
    The referee has been horrendous....how many things has he let Japan away with?!

    Credit to Japan, increasing the pressure and forcing Ireland to take risks and make errors
    Very disappointing the way we’ve crumbled

    I'd say Toner is only happy irish man in the world, and maybe Marmion

    None of them deserve to wear that jersey today and joe has shown hes simply out of touch with the current game.

    Again the simplest word to use is arrogance

    In hindsight we got the selection wrong here. Too much of an ask for the Pack in this atmosphere

    Can the ref be blamed for Earls knock on?

    The Japanese guy held onto the ball when Earl's got his hands on it, causing the knock-on.

    Earls saving the LBP could be huge for getting out of the group

    this is the time you judge teams not during friendly matches in Chicago and the like.

    Pure scutter.

    This game I think shows a real weakness with the Irish team. We struggle to chase a lead.

    He can tear himself one while he's at it. You have to respond tactically. We didn't.

    Some scalping from Japan all the same. The Scotland game will be massive, there's a good chance Japan fan go on to top the group.

    It was horrible timing but I don't think it's RTE's fault. Be a bit silly for every country to have their own cameras broadcasting live.
