RWC: Japan v Scotland (Pool A)

[kiwiinmelb]

They are both ripping in, good to see

[mariner4life]

Is that the first side entry penalty of the whole tournament?

YEah thought he should have let it go, didn’t really alter the flow.

[chimoaus]

Scotland score 7-0

[kiwiinmelb]

Early days but Scots are here to play

[No Quarter]

Really important for the Scots to score first, big blow.

[Bones]

BOK might work out well for the Scots. Chilled at the tackle, Scots didn't release the tackled player after the kick there.

[mariner4life]

Nice try. Frenetic pace on the game, it's insane

[voodoo]

Japan look very helter skelter, obvs want to play at pace

[kiwiinmelb]

Japs look a little nervous

[chimoaus]

Fuck he was off his feet surely. Maybe not.

[Kirwan]

Fast pace, what’s the temp out there?

[mariner4life]

Loving Coorio at hooker

[chimoaus]

Scotland getting the rub early.

[Bones]

BOK. Called release, then let's the scot player strip it, then calls knock on against Japan. Face palm.

[Rebound]

@chimoaus the rub is putting it kindly. BOK seems scared to penalise them

That’s O’Keefe he’s inclined to ref one team and let The other team get away with shit

[Damo]

Scotland playing at a million miles an hour.

I suspect Japan might be fitter in the last 20 minutes.

Probably got a call from Shag before the game.

One thing the Japanese do very well is generate quick ball. But it does sort of unstructure them after a few phases. On defense you need to stay patient because as you can see, turnover opportunities eventually turn up.
