All Blacks v Japan
-
They have to start rotating the 10s now so that they can claim there's no clear number 1 for when their little overhyped Cantab comes back ....
-
I get the impression Razor and co have lost the TSF room (not the red and black corner perhaps).
Personally I thought we were up against quality teams.
On the other hand the inability to change tack or keep the momentum was IMHO a reflection on the second half coaching. And not a good one. -

That Japanese team would have one of the higher number of non-Japanese born players in recent years.
Its putrid. I dont even think international coaches should be foreign.
Having Gatland coaching the Lions was just ridiculous while we are at it.
Disappointing Japan lineup, considering its one of the more homogenous, immigration shy, nations in the world these days.

As a Scots fan I’m all for foreign born players.
They just made one of them captain !

I'll be at the game but having been at Nissan Stadium before, I am not sure if I will be able to identify any of the players. You couldn't design a worse stadium for viewing rugby. Oh, well....a few beers and I'll get into the atmosphere and watch the game on TV afterwards.
-
Anyone know if this is going to be on UK TV?
With just over 24 hours until kick off there doesn't seem to be a TV deal in place.

Mentioned above that one of the Pay TV providers supposedly have a deal in place (but that's looking questionable at this stage).

️I'm not in the cantablack group. What he needs to do is
A) look to the future, drop some dead wood
B] give Wayne Smith the boot and realise that 2015 attacking rugby is not winning rugby anymore -

Nah, Nissan is good - much much better than Ajinomoto. Enjoy mate, we won’t be going this time sadly.

Looks like match not on UK mainstream channels.
-
50p to anyone who can find a UK TV channel showing Japan match.
I'll be taking 39 per cent off that before I give it to you because that's not really classified as working -
UK TV channel?
-
Can't help with UK channels for this one fellas, I only got to worry about turning on Sky in L'il Ole NZ, but the next4 are different as I will be in UK, so guess I will be finding pubs with them on!

Doesn’t appear to be showing so will have to find a stream.
I did contact NZR+ and ask if they will show it in the uk due to no broadcaster having rights but no reply (even though messenger app said it replies instantly!?)

It’s only going to get worse I think. Look at Wales. They have another NZer in their squad after a few games in their domestic league.
I think SA players are going to be filling lots more places in teams around the world due to their depth and being in vogue at the moment

Good old Scotland.
Always the trendsetters and innovators of the rugby world
