Say what you like about Quade but he has a bloody nice pass.

[Nepia]

Yes, Japan in for a try.

[Mick Gold Coast QLD]

@nepia ... then 26 minutes of silence here while George Ayoub, the video referee, checks if it was legitimate, evidently!

[Duluth]

A front of the lineout move that actually worked. Tupou scores

22-13 after 43

[Duluth]

Some class in that try. The Ikitau offload & QC keeping the move going

[akan004]

Japan's discipline really letting them down in the 2nd half.

[Old Samurai Jack]

Last Aussie try was created by taking the Japanese player out off the ball. Opened up the gap for White.

[Duluth]

QC with another try assist. This time for Japan

The score is close but it feels like the Aussies are in control (27-20)

[Machpants]

That was the worst ref call at a maul I've seen for a while

[akan004]

Seems like Williams is only looking at infringements from Japan.

Hasn't seemed that way to me. What's the pen count in the last ten?

[Bones]

I'm watching via alternative means and have some amateur (I think) yank commentators. Anyone else got them? Hilariously awful.

It's evened out a bit in the last few minutes tbf.

[Nepia]

Can we have a score update please?

[Duluth]

@nepia

27-23 Aus, 3 mins left

[taniwharugby]

How was he holding his weight...using his head

23-27 Aus

[Bones]

@akan004 ok that last pen was bullshit. Valetini clearly had stolen the ball already and just held onto it.

[Anonymous]

Broke off with 3 players in front of the ball carrier...

Looked like he was holding his weight to me, but the jap released it, Valetini had the ball, just chose to not leave the tackle. Go figure.
