Pool A - Ireland, Scotland, Japan, Russia, Samoa

Superb defence.

 

[Jarquis]

I'd say the show is over and she's on her way to the after party

She forgot her coat and had to ask the taxi to go back...

 

[Howe_zat]

A very un-Japanese 20 phases of gut running there. Not their strength. The sort of thing that happens at the end of tense games when all the planning goes out the window.

Jamie Ritchie has been everywhere for Scotland.

Ha yep! I've done the Howe mocker comment it seems...

 

[Howe_zat]

'There was no operation on the tv for a long time. Shut down?'

**** off

 

[Spark]

This is breathless stuff

 

[andruid]

None of you believed enough to vote for Japan

 

[ripper868]

Lol handbags.

 

[Spark]

Japan not playing this right here. Giving Scotland far too many openings at the breakdown.

 

[Howe_zat]

I don't know what to say about this breakdown. I feel like ref is letting the contest go a lot longer than I've seen in other games in this tournament, making it harder for both sides to look after the ball. It's not incorrect it's just unexpected.

The kind of thing you get in super rugby, which oddly enough hasn't favoured Japan.

Turns out she didn't bring a coat... back to the after party

 

[Spark]

With all that said, Scotland haven't really come close to scoring in the last 15 minutes or so, so hard to be too critical of what Japan is doing here. Lactic acid seems to be winning the final stages of this game all around

 

[ripper868]

Feel 5 minutes and 15 points is too much now surely.

Mate has a 10 legged bet that ends with a Japan victory, so hes tearing his hair out right now.

 

[Spark]

wow, big call

 

[morgieb]

Who goes through if Scotland win by less than 7 points?

Japan

 

[Howe_zat]

These flat passes from Russell are beautiful, he's been blameless while his team mates are droppig the ball.

 

[morgieb]

Japan

Was more thinking would it knock out Ireland. Apparently they're on 16 which makes it impossible to overturn.

 

[Spark]

That should be game.
