RWC: Japan v Ireland (Pool A)

[MiketheSnow]

Ireland decided they want to play.

Lifted the tempo superbly. And with ease.

God I hate the Ireland rugby team. I hate their style and I hate their attitude

Love Japan's tactics - absorb the pressure in the first quarter, stretch the Oiroish out wide and then forwards driving up the centre

At times they come across as 15 Owen Farrell's don't they?

[sparky]

15 minutes to go. Japan two points ahead. Ryan gives away a penalty. Sloppy.

[No Quarter]

Crucial turnover!

[mariner4life]

Ireland getting a lot of leeway at the ruck to keep that ball. So many in the side

Penalty!!

Brilliant defence inside the 22.

Haha I’ve got Kafer, Horan and Clarkieeeee and all I hear about is this “Australian born lock”

Ireland attack is pretty dire. They seem to think if they hold onto the ball for 20 phases of one off running they deserve to score.

To be fair it's been a pretty successful plan for a while

@mariner4life they seem to want to play for penalties, Murray is always trying for one.

[Victor Meldrew]

Jeez, Japan's defence is good and discipline amazing

[mariner4life]

Japanese tackling is amazing

[taniwharugby]

Ireland needed to get that wide and they cut back in

[ACT Crusader]

Kearney is going to have a big shiner in the morning.

The hits are brutal.

its awesome!!

[ACT Crusader]

The final 11 minutes and Japan have done a lot of tackling in the last 10-15 minutes. I hope they have legs.

[mariner4life]

Murray is shit really, good at one thing

[No Quarter]

I can see Ireland scoring soon, have had all of the ball since the Japanese try
