I’m still calling this a cripple fight.

Japan really have gone backwards as England get the BP try.

England only conceded 6 penalties there. Good discipline gets you to the World Cup knock outs.
Fantastic

Fantastic discipline. Superb defence.
Easy against a team that do not contest in the rucks.

Was just superb to see. They hammered away and didn't lost their heads. Great effort.
Japan made a great game of it too. Well done to them. Valiant losers.
A fantastic evenings fare.
Shout out to the ref who just brilliant it must be said.

England have shown some real defensive steel. They could well prove to be a problem at this World Cup... the only thing is will they go away from what has worked?
Ford is in the form of his life, the midfield and Steward a functioning well, why throw in Farrell? I'm not even sure they should put him on the bench, but I suspect they will, and I don't think it is a good idea.
They looked better balanced with a big number eight, and Earls playing 7, will they stick with that when Curry returns, or will they try and shoehorn Earls to 8? (hmmm, think aloud seems similar to Ardie Savea at 8, though that is another story for another day)
Good to see the Poms going well though.

Earls was fantastic today. Very physical boy. Marvellous performance.

Are you taking the piss?

I stand by my backing of Japan in this match
If they could have held on to half, shit even a quarter, of their passes they would have spanked England
So disappointing
England were there for the taking and should really be 0-2
But fair play to them, they’ve ridden their luck and stuck to the task
£340 down the pan
Thanks Japan
