Victorian Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 HIA for all 15 players. Their heads must spinning. They've missed 21 tackles out of 150. Overwhelming power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what it is about Japanese team sport - but in football, both men's and women's, they are so, so creative, inventive, clever. Rugby has a new power. It's a joy to watch (unless you're either Scottish... or South African). I agree totally. As McGeechan said there, they are so accurate passing wise that you rarely see the ball. How do you beat that, and with that crowd. Japan wouldn't be a bad bet for the title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PortyJambo Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) It's been all Japan after the Scotland try. They're going to deservedly be the ones going through to the quarters. I don't mind that tbh, it's good to see another team going through against the usual suspects. And Scotland just haven't been good enough, beat up on the wee teams then fall apart when they play a good team.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Japan have nailed the fast dynamic game that Townsend said he wanted Scotland to play. The difference is they have the physicality to win the ball at break down and go through tackles. We are weak in both these aspects and look frightened to take hits. Kicking before the contact seems our go to place at times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joondalupjambo Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) My 91 year old has just phoned me asking if I am watching the game. She said the J***s, you need to forgive her she is very old, are over running our defences far too easily. She said it is like Burma and Singapore all over again.
