    Surprised at all the people picking Japan, this SA side has been just barely behind us for a while and better at times.

    Yes and there is no element of surprise this time

    One of the advantages Japan is meant to have is fitness/the ability to run a team off the park. The last match against Scotland makes me question if that is true

    Japan had 74% possession and 75% territory in that first half. Scotland had to work extremely hard but they did not gas in the second half.
    If anything Japan seemed to be the side just hanging on.

      Will Owens favour NZ quite as much without Richie there? 🤔

      this is deliciously bitter

      And yet also making light fun of Owens' sexuality - let's face it, Read is an ugly fluffybunny compared to Ruchie.

      So its a little of everything.

      My Aussie mate text me during the haka of the first match at the RWC and was remarking how hot that guy leading the haka was, I assumed she was talking about TJ, but nope she meant Read. Aussie bogan chicks are weird (there I go with the superfluous word bogan again, but then again I guess possums are protected species over here.

      Oh right. You're making that statement in light of Hutt Valley existing. Good luck.

          Yeah nah. When you say "over here" you take the whole country. Own your bogans if you're going that way.

                Yeah - if I were Rassie, the main thing that would worry me would be the prospect of a hot and humid evening - and that's probably less of a concern for SA compared with Ireland.

                South Africa by at least 20 for me.

                            @Crucial just around the corner from where this year's best AB went to school is it?

                            He's also embracing it.

                              Ardie went to St Pats Town didn’t he? Def. not from the Upper class of the Hutt.
                              He does look like he is modelling for a Panhead can design though.

                                  That’s right, Rongotai, not the paddies.

                                  Not many graduates of UH schools make it to the highest levels although now mullets are acceptable (Goodhue) the signs are promising.
