    Their should have been a flag on that play and a penalty TD for the Scrumrocks

    It's Michael Corcoran you can hear in the background.

    Mafi going off would probably be a good thing. Leitch is an excellent player in his own right, but isn't as explosive a carrier. Even tho he's a good carrier too.

    That lineout was disgraceful

    Jesus that Japanese lad that came flying in needed a ping.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,775 ✭✭✭✭Gbear


    This would be very tight if Japan weren't munchkins allergic to the high ball.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,029 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Leave 9.

    Murray leaves it.

    Penalty?

    Gardner only interested in penalising one team at the minute

    Ireland not doing well at the breakdown, giving away a lot of pretty clear penalties


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,981 ✭✭✭Naggdefy


    A bit worried about this. The longer the Japs stay in it. Given heat, humidity and their style of play..at home.

    Am I seeing a lot of empty seats in the corners of the stadium?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 976 ✭✭✭radharc


    Jesus every restart down Lemeki’s throat

    TBF he had just penalised Japan at the breakdown, and no idea what Murray was thinking when he gave away that penalty. He was the tackler and never released.

    Japan will be out of gas by 60


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,113 ✭✭✭✭lawred2


    Can't see anything wrong with the officiating


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,955 ✭✭✭Utah_Saint


    Wtf


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 716 ✭✭✭BOHSBOHS


    Was half expectinggardner to ping POM for side entry when he carried the ball there into a ruck

    Japan scrum penalty. Wtf.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 581 ✭✭✭Hobosan


    Could end up with a yellow card at the rate we're going.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,029 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Lads let's stop talking about Japan giving the Scots a game. They've really putting it to us.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,477 ✭✭✭kuang1


    Only one wrong call by Gardener so far for the Best/Furlong knock on, and I'd forgive him that.
    Think he's having a good game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,332 ✭✭✭Always Be Closing


    Scrumrocks not going for the FG


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,787 ✭✭✭CptMackey


    What was wrong with scrum there?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,781 ✭✭✭PetKing


    How long does it take to kick to touch?


  • Subscribers, Paid Member Posts: 44,928 ✭✭✭✭sydthebeat


    Just desserts for trying to milk a pen there.

    If the balls available scrum on their 22...play the flecking thing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,783 ✭✭✭A-Train


    What did he ping Ireland for in that scrum?

    We hope!

    Very impressed with Japan, putting us under huge pressure, I'm actually surprised how well we're fronting upto it.

    If this keeps up it will be a tight score. Gregor Townsend must be watching this through his fingers.
