RWC: Japan v Scotland (Pool A)

@Bones Pretty much. Styles make fights as they say in Boxing. I still expect Ireland to give us a bit of trouble next week. If we played Japan, then not so much.

They're pretenders. I don't expect them to bring much if anything.
I still won't be going down the club to watch. Far too many Irish.

@Bones Hope you're right haha. I expect us to get home, but get tested for large chunks of the game.
It would be funny if Ireland were to lose another quarter final after all the hype that comes their way literally before every World Cup.

How lucky are SA?
We have Ireland and if we win England/Australia.
They have japan then Wales or France.

They have lost to Wales in the last 4 encounters. Admittedly three of those were in Cardiff and one in the USA, but Wales won't fear them and IIRC had decent form from the 6N

I wonder if the SRU will now sue for not cancelling the game.

No Garces or Poite. Owens, Peyper or even (gags) Barnes will be better than Poite Garces or that other farkhead with a French sounding name

I think we have a slight edge but wouldn't be surprised if Ireland wins.
I'll be surprised, irate and disgusted to lose to such a poor, shitty team.

Just because they don't play our style of rugby, it doesn't mean they are shitty. Their structure, defence and discipline makes them dangerous. Throw in some wet weather and Sexton and Murray can become very effective with their kicking game.

Form a even-more-cynical-than-Victor-Meldrew friend of mine....
"In other news, Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has demanded the Scotland-Japan game be replayed:
"It's a bit like the previous Brexit and Scottish Independence votes. The result was so close, and now we know what the result actually means, we need to put it back to the players to decide"

What? Where on earth did I say that? They're shitty because they're playing shit. But sure, make up your own brief.

Oh well, really hope you are right. I think there are signs that they are coming back into form.

Ha ha, as usual no 4g service onsite. Just got home, and, well, what a fucking cracking game of footy. I'm hammered, brilliant atmosphere, both JP and Scot supporters doing it right.
I may add some thoughts tomorrow, but right now all I know is that Tony Brown has a future with withe ABs. That Japan team knows how to break down defenses, and they use a variety of means to do it.
They are just fun to watch, and with better players across the park, they'd be very very strong. I don't know that South Africa will be laughing about this result - if the japan team can win it's set piece (looking at the line out in particular tonight) then they could be dangerous next week.

@Wairau I’d love to know what sort of Yen JJ is on for this gig?
@ACT-Crusader Whatever it is, it's well deserved.
I'm putting my hand up as a Kiwi like for like ( I may need to bulk up a bit) replacement for JJ if Japan need-I reckon I can keep Japan humming. PM me here, Japan.
