RWC Week 2: England v Japan

[mantissanet]

I really like that. Second time in two days that I have seen a referee reverse a scrum penalty call based on the turf being a problem

[Billy Tell]

Japan have gifted the poms their points.

[Jailbreak7]

Simply have to nail those LOs.

[MiketheSnow]

Japan need to run them ragged

[Tim]

Japan hard done by there?

[sparky]

England 10 Japan 9

Another upset possible?

[Billy Tell]

This game is a bit of a cripple fight so far

[LABCAT]

England definitely winning the bomb battle.

[Jailbreak7]

Neither team have settled yet. Scrappy game.

[sparky]

I think Samoa have a real chance to top Group D.

[sparky]

England with a lineout 5m out.

[sparky]

But Jamie George knocks on.

[sparky]

Japan offside. George Ford with a chance at a shot at goal.

[sparky]

England 13 Japan 9

Half time.

[Bones]

Monye. England's answer to Justin Marshall..

[sparky]

Still in the balance, although I suspect if England score first after half time they’ll win comfortably.

They can certainly hope to get out of the group. Japan seem to have a lot of the same players as 2019 and they have regressed.

[Jailbreak7]

@Billy-Tell Yes its weird. Although the Sunwolves were not great it seems leaving SR has really hurt them.

[cgrant]

Two poor sides.
