    Eddie Jones? I was sure it was his father with a name like that.

    TMO flagging up JdV jumping into a tackle there. Still mad at May not being called for that last night.

    Is jumping into a tackle not a penalty?

    Not for it being dangerous though, just that it contributed to his inversion.

    The Japanese rolling maul is a weapon

    I'm off the Ireland bandwagon, and getting on the Japanese one.
    Go on! The whole team were in that maul!

    Great determination from Japan. Can't see them winning but they're not going to lie down.

    SA just scored from their own maul.

    Japan can't afford to give away penalties at all. Other than that they are fronting up big time

    Boks will still win handily but the Japanese have really played some nice rugby and made a game of this in the first half. Great game to watch...

    Japan rolling maul, ten men. Impressive looking try.

    South Africa rolling maul, four men. Impressive try period.

    Mauls seem to be a strength of a lot of teams so far in the tournament.

    How did that not go to the tmo ? There's no way the referee saw that grounded

    If they improved their defence at set pieces in the second half they could pull off an massive upset. Big ask as they will probably tire but fantastic to see a "second" tier nation putting in such a great performance.

    Wow. Boks completely not at the races outside of their set piece. Lambie just launched the kick-chase, only one chasing was the beast!

    South Africa are a complete shambles. They've looked like they felt they only needed to show up and they'd thrash Japan.

    Clearly the refs aren't going to please anyone. Damned if they do and damned if they don't.
