HT SA 12-10 Japan

Japan have played well. All three tries in the game have come from the forwards.

Japan will run out of steam in the last 20, but good performance from them in the first half.

Crowd cheering for everything they do well - not partisan at all!

 

[Bit on the shaggies]

Not sure they will much, they're a bit like Canada and the US in that respect, their physical preparation is top notch.

If they can keep going then they can give SA a scare - not been overly impressed with them so far

 

[Bit on the shaggies]

If they can keep it tight they'll have half a chance.

Two quick tries from SA and it's all over though.

Scotland must be bricking it...

 

[Bit on the shaggies]

Bugger, there's one...

 

[Parkins left foot]

Japan took the lead, but a really poor tackle allows SA back in for a try. Another one soon will be likely to kill off Japan's resistance you suspect

Rumours for a good while that all is not well in the camp, might be some truth in it, poor in the championship and poor today.

Japan level it back up.

Burger lucky to be still on after a neck high pull down as well

 

[Dinowolf]

How did Burger not get a card then? That's a terrible decision.

 

[Bit on the shaggies]

22 - 22! This is amazing.

COME ON JAPAN!

Cracking game. Shame SA are going to win this.

 

[Dinowolf]

Wow Japan

 

[Parkins left foot]

Superb try from Kanamura - SA have not won this yet

 

[Parkins left foot]

Japan/SA has been a really good game

If Burger had been off for 10, as he should & Japan not missed a couple of crucial tackles to allow SA in this could have been a seismic result.

Still could as SA only 3 up with 2 to play & Japan attacking.

 

[Parkins left foot]

SA down to 14 for the end game!!

 

[Dinowolf]

JAPAN WIN......WOW

 

[Bit on the shaggies]

YEEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!

 

[Parkins left foot]

Japanese try in the 84th min - a win that they have really deserved.

Not my prediction as thought this would be easy for SA, but that was a brilliant spectacle

Don't think I've jumped up for a try as much as did just then.
