    Chris Farrell was absolutely immense in defence today, stemmed the tide big time

    It all comes back to the mistake of picking too strong a team. Minding themselves. Should have been a pure 2nd string who would have knuckled down and put in the work for a strong win.
    Joe booboo here big time.

    We're going to lose.

    Of course we aren't. Carbery will come in and turn them around, bust their lungs and we'll take it by 10.

    Why? They’re playing some unbelievable stuff.

    Japan are playing really well, but they are getting a bit of luck.a few dropped balls have gone backwards. And we are sloppy as hell

    Their team is mostly saffers and south Sea islanders. They're worse than an English cricket team.

    We've had little purchase from the maul, think we need to move it wide here. Provided we win it.

    Is there any Japanese players on the pitch? Looks like a South African and Pacific Islands XI. Farcical.

    This is great preparation for the intensity of the quarters. Force usto respond from coming from behind against a super motivated team in a hostile stadium

    Why did they go out the back?

    That needed to stay with the forwards. They were making yards.
