England v Japan

Eddie keeps his powder very dry.

Dessicated even

Here we go. England win the world cup again when they gain a scrum penalty.

Bones

That scrum was still and stable for probably almost 5 seconds, it should be use it or lose it, regardless of what you do after that.

Dunno, Flats is. But I'm talking about the players. Just like last week when they won the world cup with a scrum in the first half but somehow lost the game.

Bones

And now a massive scream of "YEEEEAH" from Sinckler just because a Japanese player dropped a bobbly pass.

Oh, that sort of shit. Just tuned in and it's Miles "England may be 20 points down with 10 minutes to go, but they know they can still win" Harrison.

I'm off to watch the Italy Wobblies game on replay.

England much better this week so far.

Bones

This guy Riley is a fucking brilliant footy player.

More of a case of Japan being really subpar, nowhere near the form they had against the AB's.

Bones

This game is making it quite evident that ref's should be saying use it immediately upon the ball being in a position to be available. Or it should just be a law that you have 5 seconds to clear it or free kick to the opposition.

At the moment we get 5 seconds of fucking around with the ball before the ref even says use it. I guess they could just shorten the use it law to 2 or 3 seconds.

Japan tactics are baffling. They are not going to win by taking 3s.

@Billy-Tell their mental fortitude seems to have completely deserted them this week.

Yeah, I was a bit disappointed with Japan. I’m not too sure England learned much from today.

Billy Tell

That was an utterly crap game of rugby. Didn’t even bother watching to the end.

sparky

Japan don't travel well.
