Turnovers all over the place, outstrengthed. And it's against fucking Italy. I am not looking forward to that All Blacks clash, we are going to get pummeled. 4 hours ago, Grizzly21 said: How would you rate this as a shock? For me it's still way behind the win over South Africa but Japan have already shown what they could do over the years. Still would be a huge upset but I'm not sure if I'd say it's above Uruguay's win over Fiji just a few days ago. Sunwolves have done Japanese rugby a world of good. Fantastic result for Japan, I was sat outside my daughters fancy lesson with my headphones in first pumping every Japanese point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairy In Boots 607 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Also biggest was Japan vs South Africa, to have the stones to risk it all and go for the win was epic. Now I’d say Japan are arguably as good as Italy/ Scotland ireland are ranked no 2 but have been worked out, England worked them out and now they have no plan B. If you play like that against The All blacks they’ll get drubbed. Uraguay was a good win but they’ve been getting stronger, I expect a competitive game vs Georgia best sides so far All blacks & South Africa England and Wales yet to be tested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted September 29, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted September 29, 2019 This forearm tackle rule is a joke, if you are in full motion and someone meets you head on you naturally put your arm up holding the ball and knock into the guy in front of you, Wales was gifted a penalty there.

Guest Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Was hopeful Argentina could pull something off here, but this first half suggests that England are just going to run away with it. Shame, but they are showing authority here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted October 5, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted October 5, 2019 Lovely try that by centre Tim Lafaele did a dummy then just continued on and touch down 16-6 after the penalty, I can't see my Scotland beating the Japanese.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted October 5, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted October 5, 2019 H/T Japan leading 16-9 but Samoa are still in it, looking at some of the Japanese players and their No 15 Ryohei Yamanaka has some bloody speed on him at 6ft 2, his normal position is a centre but he is listed on the team sheet as at full-back today.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted October 5, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted October 5, 2019 I quite enjoyed that game and I think they will beat Scotland, when they get a sniff of a try they will go for it, I loved it when Samoa closed the gap near the end with a try and Japan bounced back and scored two, the Japanese pack's heave-ho going towards the goal line, awesome, and in the scrums they were like mosquitoes buzzing around and you could not hit them, some of the Japanese players are over 6 foot and built like brick shithouses.

That would give Scotland 13 points, not including any bonuses if Ireland beat Samoa that would give them 15 points without including any bonus points, we may beat Russia but I can't see them beating Japan and Ireland should beat Samoa but if they didn't and Scotland beat Russia but not Japan then Ireland would still have 11 points and go into the Knock Out Stages and play either Sth Africa or New Zealand. I think I got that right lol, saying all that it's a big ask for Ireland beating either the All Blacks (my favourites) or the Springbocks as they are gelling together nicely especially after thrashing Canada today.
