    Wasn't this the U20s where they picked fatties to do core roles?

    Having said that, one thing I've noticed watching Japanese kids training at school; they're very drill focused honing skills to do them well.

      @antipodean Yep, the scrum was one of the things they focused on during the preparations for this tournament. Our scrum went well against Fiji, but not today.

              Geezus. Defence is absent. Another Japanese try. Friday's team was better.

                @antipodean Yeah, looked awesome. But frustrating from a NZ pov.

                  Good finish from Herbert, but that was Lalomilo's work rewarded.

                    Good hard running from the NZ centre and off load to the inside running openside in support.

                    It's going to be that size and strength that makes this contest predictable.

                      Brilliant individual try from the second five-eighth. Chip and chase.

                            Very easy try. Japan's defence is worse than ours.

                              No way the fullback was onside.

                                Only about 2 metres offside

                                  Is our half-back part Irish?

                                      Nice Murray-esque box kick on him. Lots of. Look a little bit like that great Irish centre, O'Aki

                                        Average first half. Weak scrum, leaky defence, sloppy passing. It's only because Japan can't defend that we are so far ahead.
