@Mattasaurus said in RWC Week 2: England v Japan:

Weird game, entertaining and sloppy

Had a few nights like that

[Victor Meldrew]

2 on 1 which Ford butchers and then England knock-on a metre from the Japan line.

[MiketheSnow]

Can someone please explain how if a defender places both hands on the floor beyond the ball at the ruck it’s a penalty, but if the first attacking player to form the ruck does it it’s not?

Steward in!

[Billy Tell]

England will probably get the 4TBP.

[sparky]

England 25 Japan 12.

[sparky]

Ford kicks the conversation.

England 27 Japan 12

Healthy lead for England now.

[MiketheSnow]

Is Monye bi-polar?

Complained all night about England kicking the ball away

Steward scores and it’s the only way to attack

[MiketheSnow]

English players walking off like they’ve towelled the Japs

[MiketheSnow]

I honestly don’t think I’ve seen an international team knock the ball on more than Japan have this evening

Must be 20+

[MiketheSnow]

England really are flat track bullies

And shit

[mooshld]

Fucking awesome goal line stand from Japan there.

[Jailbreak7]

ITV comms are so shit. Called Japan Argentina there

[Billy Tell]

I’m still calling this a cripple fight.

[sparky]

Another decent English defensive effort.

[sparky]

Joe Marchant scores England’s 4th try.

[Jailbreak7]

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

[sparky]

Not always pretty from England this evening, but they’ve got the job done.

England 34 Japan 12.

England are heading to the Quarter Finals.

What a brilliant game of rugby.

Great refereeing, great team selections, great commentary, great play all round.
Great spirit from both sides. That's what Rugby is all about.

Well done everyone. Huzzah!!!!!

[sparky]

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