Mark Connolly Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Japan absolutely deserve that. Even if we had somehow come back, there is no way they shouldn't have got through based on their first 3 1/2 matches. Absolutely well done 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kebab Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Fitting that it was Russell that lost the turnover under the posts at the death there!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Japan could beat South Africa and it's good that Ireland have to play New Zealand. Well done Japan, topping the group. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japan would have beaten us with a full weeks rest, like we had imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Japan’s defence was that good it seemed like they had extra players on the park. I kept thinking there must be space out wide but there didn’t seem to be. I’m now supporting Japan for the rest of the tournament. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepper Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Constantly giving the ball back to a Japan team that make near no errors was great tactical play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acastus Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Credit to Japan they deserved it and they will take some stopping. They beat Ireland and us while we lost to both of them...SHITE!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyBear Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I dont watch much rugby but I was surprised at how far Japan were ahead of us. They looked quicker, fitter, far better organised and more creative. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Let's take the positive here. New Zealand are going to absolutely ruin Ireland as a result of that game.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlandmagyar 2nd Tier Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 It's now got the level that as long as we dont get the wooden spoon in the 6 nations we are doing OK. Scottish sport? Hahaha. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 The dreadfull kicking was obviously Townsends game plan, for that alone he should go. If we had kept ball in had we would have at lease had a chance, but giveing them posesion was brutal. His choice of players in the squad was also poor 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 We seem to rely far too much on kicking - instead of building up possession we just give it away.Felt we had no plan to combat the fast Japanese hands. When we did get the ball it was very static - balls thrown behind the players or, if a player did make a run, he was on his own and surrounded by Japanese players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They looked quicker, fitter, far better organised and more creative. The major difference for me was the pace they hit the ball at. It's actually become unfashionable to just run onto the ball at full pelt, but it's still the most effective way of going forward 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
