Bokke v Blossoms

booboo

The Boks adept at swinging their legs and limbs onto the wrong side. Was bound but swung a waaaay round.

Too easy .. try three

NTA

@booboo Berry missing a few here and Japan are on the receiving end

England lost on penalties. Always amusing.

Biased? I suggest just not good enough

Rebound

@booboo But his decisions has a clear bias. Look a the last penalty call. What was different between what Maki did and Vermeulen earlier in the half. Yet Vermeulen won a penalty and Maki got penalised. Shit ref and biased. Seems to be the in thing for referees

Yeah ... I suspect if the ABs were on the receiving end I'd be calling bias.

That maul defence just now at the end of the half looked extremely dodgy but allowed.

Personally I think he's just a shit ref.

Yeah that's enough of that. Hopefully the rain in England stops shortly and I can watch cricket.

Billy Webb

I think Berry watched the previous game between these two teams and is making up for that one :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye:

Billy Webb

This is interesting... Pollard off and Frans Steyn on at 10.

Glad they're testing this. Let's see how it plays out.

Billy Webb

Terribly!
Steyn bounces a pass into Kolisi - easy intercept and gallop away for a Japan try.

Billy Webb

Boks seem disjointed. If the Blossoms could just drop a few less passes, they'd have at least 2 more tries.

Billy Webb

Now Flo gets carded.
Not the best warm-up outing ever...

Rebound

Japan are their own worst enemy. So many dropped passes and just crap passing. just killed them

Billy Webb

95m Intercept try for Kolbe as Japan were meters from the Bok line.

Probably Karma (that's not Japanese is it?) after some very cynical off-the-ball taking out of Bok players by Japan in the lead up.

Billy Webb

Japan finishing strong here though.

Billy Webb

Herschel Jantjies scores a long range try after Japan lose the ball in the tackle.
Final score 41-7

I guess the Boks will take that. But a lot to work on.

Higgins

Did they do a lap of honour in recognition for finally getting their winning ratio against Japan to at least 50%?

Maybe!

But the cynic in me suspects it is part of a strategy to endear themselves to Japanese fans in the hope of getting some "home town" support in their games.
