    Now THATS a forward pass.

    Japanese blocking the SA kick chasers isn’t exactly subtle


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,460 ✭✭✭Ishmael


    Some power. Nice try

    Ominous. Hon Japan


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,246 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    That's a very soft try to concede from Japan's point of view.

    I see what japan are trying to do but they could have the stuffing knocked out of them long before the Boks get tired. Their scrum will be crushed.

    Wow SA

    Noticed that alright. Fairly blatant.

    Shocking defence. SA had their homework done.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,052 ✭✭✭✭Beechwoodspark


    Saffers have the scrum advantage anyway

    Japan need to run them around as much as possible

    Neck roll at the breakdown from saffer no9. Barnes just said play on... seriously where is the consistency

    They have their number I think

    Bok pack is going to show us how it’s done today.

    Unlucky there Japan.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,599 ✭✭✭ScrubsfanChris


    LeRoux very lucky there. Could have been very nasty.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,244 ✭✭✭✭Guy:Incognito


    Trying to just grab the ball off a player is a real kids move. They think they are tricking the coaches by making it look like they made an effort to stop him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,943 ✭✭✭✭FrancieBrady


    Frantic and frenzied defence from Japan...don't think they will have the physicality to withstand this for 80


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,218 ✭✭✭piplip87


    Hopefully Japan get the invite to the Rugby Championship sooner rather than later. They have beaten two tier one teams this year and play an absolute brilliant style of Rugby.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,052 ✭✭✭✭Beechwoodspark


    Trouble here


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,052 ✭✭✭✭Beechwoodspark


    Should’ve been red

    Bollox, but fair.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,460 ✭✭✭Ishmael


    Yellow card. Lucky not to be red. Only marginally away from landing on his head.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,246 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    Wayne Barnes acted too quickly. He should have watched the replays.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 732 ✭✭✭penybont exile


    Brainless collective performance in parts from Wales today ..... fortunately evened up an individual brainless moment from France.

    However we're still alive and next week is another day.

    Should’ve been red

    Could have been.

    One part of me is happy to see a ref being decisive, another part thinks it was worth another look


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 732 ✭✭✭penybont exile


    How was that not a red?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,052 ✭✭✭✭Beechwoodspark


    I’ve watched a good amount of the matches this WC and that’s the most dangerous tackle I’ve seen so far.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,741 ✭✭✭✭Squidgy Black


    That is extremely lucky for the saffers, if that was replayed in slow mo they would've deemed the point of contact to be head first.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,290 ✭✭✭giveitholly


    Poor camera work showing too much from the camera above the pitch

    Why didn't Barnes go to TMO...very quick decision there
