Oh Japan, teach us how to rugby.

 

[Spark]

Great, methodical rugby

 

[StephenZA]

Japan has become everybody's second team.

 

[Howe_zat]

I deeply regret not picking Matsushima in the draft.

 

[ripper868]

Is head on head in the framework?

 

[ripper868]

I'd suggest penalty only due to mitigation

 

[Howe_zat]

Is head on head in the framework?

I've no idea.

They usually talk about 'initial contact' and in this case I think initial contact was onto the shoulders.

Oof, the way Horie yells out and clutches his head there. Nasty. But just unlucky I think.

 

[ripper868]

Good refereeing that.

 

[ripper868]

I deeply regret not picking Matsushima in the draft.

He has been everywhere, proper exciting playyer

 

[Spark]

omg

 

[ripper868]

Another shot gone begging...from wide out, not a high percentage chance...hit the corner and...

Holy **** they've done it again!! What a try!

 

[Howe_zat]

Holy crap.

 

[StephenZA]

So simple so good.

 

[Howe_zat]

Another shot gone begging...from wide out, not a high percentage chance...hit the corner and...

Holy **** they've done it again!! What a try!

All part of the plan??

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Awwww yeaaaahhhhh

 

[Spark]

What a glorious half of attacking rugby

 

[Meridio]

Japan are class. One way traffic since the 5th minute.

 

[Howe_zat]

Japan have absolutely dominated this ever since I said they were in trouble.

 

[ripper868]

Scotland need to win by more then 7 as well if Japan get the BP try...I cant see Scotland not conceding 1 more try or then scoring the 30 points needed to have a 8 point margin...

 

[Jarquis]

Scotland can have absolutely no complaints about going home.
