    About time South Africa have been punished for being offside.

    Penalty for offside...so they haven't forgotten the rule

    2 in a row at the end there.

    How many forward passes have Japan got away with so far.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,227 ✭✭✭✭Guy:Incognito


    Surely the winner of England /NZ will win the final.

    They seem to be constantly at it

    Straight forward kick to touch: "Looking to find touch and does."

    I'm going to be disappointed if Japan aren't in an extended 6 Nations by the next World Cup

    They have to


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


    That was some catch


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 79,418 ✭✭✭✭FrancieBrady


    Japanese rugby is in trouble when they make forward passes illegal. :)

    Need to nail Japanese for forward passes too. Must be up to double figures by now.

    Surely Super Rugby is the place for them?

    Cant see the 6 nations working with them in it.

    Forward pass called. Hello Barnes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,173 ✭✭✭✭kmart6


    Tamura makes too many mistakes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 12,419 ✭✭✭✭fullstop


    Should be Japan pen for offside? no knock on there


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


    The first 3 quarter final games have been average, this is the best one.

    Japan games have been the most entertaining games in the tournament so far.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,056 ✭✭✭applehunter


    Very impressed with Natakomo.

    That's some possession stat, 81% Japan to 19% South Africa.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,132 ✭✭✭✭is_that_so


    SAffers using breaks to catch their breath. Good thinking.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 79,418 ✭✭✭✭FrancieBrady


    Only 29 mins gone!!...feels like a whole game of events.

    Why not? Northern Hemisphere.

    They come to Europe for 3 weeks and play their 3 away games in a row. Then 3 of the existing Six Nations travel over each year so every team goes once every 2 years.

    You have Pro14 playing in South Africa. This is further but still definitely doable.

    Would be harsh on the likes of Georgia but I'd love to see it happen

    Japan are twice as far away from Argentina as they are from Europe

    9000km from Italy and 14000km from South Africa

    Ban billionaires

    SA will probably grind this out. But they will be banjaxed after it. Wales will be happy with that


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,285 ✭✭✭Jacovs


    Be interesting when rassie will send on the bench. Surely around 50mins send on a fresh tight 5.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 128 ✭✭disposableFish


    I wouldn't have thought a 3 - 5 game could be interesting, but there they are, buzzing away.

    ..and has this really only been on for 30 min?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,285 ✭✭✭Jacovs


    Held on too long there.
