I'm really enjoying these top tier/2nd tier games. They're much closer than they used to be and you see some great rugby - Japan's off-loading being a case in point.
Think they are great for the game.

Yep

Ireland making very hard work of this
-
Japan would do themselves a massive favour if they stopped playing mindless frenetic rugby.
-
Ireland bash their way over
Uninspiring but effective
Ireland 19-17 Japan
Halftime

How good is Tamura?
Sublime skill to set up that try.
-
That's a good try by Japan. Now to watch them screw up their exit and concede more points.
-
This is a damn good test match.
And Gibson Park has played well.

Japan getting screwed by some blatant home refereeing.

Yep blatant BS I feel sorry for Japan

I also feel sorry for Japan. Their players deserved better as the referee was really harsh against them. Same offences but different outcomes whether you are wearing red stripes or a green jersey. However, I have to say that this young Irish team has some real talents in it.

Said it last week too, I love the style of rugby Japan play, really positive, don’t remember them being offside much, just went out the play their game

The ABs need to arrange tests against Japan every year.
Get them into the RC, there could be some great games, any gap to arg and aus doesn’t look that big

in true fern fashion I had little idea who won and by how much reading this thread (39-31 to Ireland).

@kiwiwomble I think its a matter of when tbh. They're only gonna get stronger as well.
