RWC: Japan v Ireland (Pool A)

[taniwharugby]

not getting much out of this game in the try bonus promo at TAB so far.

[mariner4life]

That penalty was bullshit

[Billy Tell]

When Ireland’s plan A goes well they are fearsome. They have no plan B. Crash crash box kick or long kick at the moment.

[Damo]

The Japanese are playing like their lives depend on it. Ireland look a little sluggish and predictable.

We probably end up playing the losing team in the quarters.

[taniwharugby]

interesting Gardner let Ireland move when the Japanese 9 had hands on

[MiketheSnow]

Leitch down and out

And he's up

[Billy Tell]

If japan get the lead this could get really interesting.

[Billy Tell]

Japanese 9 has been outstanding.

Nah, even if Japan win, they could easily drop a game to Samoa and/or Scotland. But Ireland will beat Samoa and Russia.

Woooohooooo try time.

[No Quarter]

It was offside he just let it go. Number 1 team in the world always get favoured by the ref

[No Quarter]

TRY!!!!!

[MiketheSnow]

You fucking beauty.

Thoroughly deserved.

Great skill.

Ireland lucky Japan scored because the YC was coming out from Gardner.

Great kick

Japan 16 - 12 Ireland
61 mins gone

[No Quarter]

I can’t believe Japan has the lead at the 60 minute mark. Insane.

[jegga]

Go Japan! they've been my second favourite team for years

[MiketheSnow]

Ireland decided they want to play.

Lifted the tempo superbly. And with ease.

[mariner4life]

God I hate the Ireland rugby team. I hate their style and I hate their attitude

Love Japan's tactics - absorb the pressure in the first quarter, stretch the Oiroish out wide and then forwards driving up the centre
