Mid-Year Tour : Japan v Wales Test 2

[MiketheSnow]

Here we go again

Hopefully we'll have wised up from last week and play the game which suits us not them

Costelow nowhere to be seen thank god. But replaced by another dwarf in Dan Edwards. We'll see. I would have had Ben Thomas at 10.

Hardy needs to have the game of his life to compensate for the utter shit he delivered last week. New kid as scrum half sub is an exciting prospect.

Freddie Thomas and Teddy Williams could be a good combo in the second row.

As last week, we have the personnel to beat Japan. Whether we have the game plan and accuracy remains to be seen.

If Welsh rugby administrators had half your passion Mike, Tim Cymru wouldn’t be in this mess.

For the sake of Welsh rugby, I do hope they get a win this weekend.

Am I right that Wales haven’t won a test since the group stage of the RWC against Georgia?

18 games stretch. Its a huge streak.

They do play Japan in November so you would expect they will break the streak either this weekend or against Japan at home.

Good to see Wainwright starting. God knows whose wives he's been shagging not to get picked so often.

Hard to say really. Japan were able to read them pretty well last weekend, so it would need a bit more inventive play than what we’ve seen so far.

Rugby in July in that part of Japan. Cripes, it is going to be hot!

[Duluth]

Just kicked off

[Duluth]

Japan about to get carded for repeat infringements

Wales with the 3rd attacking lineout in a row

[Duluth]

14-3 Wales and Japan got a YC

That looked like he propelled himself off the ground with his legs. Try shouldn’t have counted

[Victor Meldrew]

Great individual effort from Adams.

[Duluth]

21-3 now

Surely they can’t screw this up

[Mr Fish]

Hmm letting in a try on half time when you've scored in the 38th minute wouldn't have been in the plans.

[Duluth]

Or could they.. Japan scores because of some soft defence around the fringes

Wales 21-10 at HT

[Victor Meldrew]

Jeez, Leitch is a warrior isn't he?

[MiketheSnow]

Ours to lose
Like last week
By far the better team

Solid scrum
Functioning lineout

Still too many basic mistakes
Kicking very average again

[sparky]

Wales leading 21-10 at the break. They can't fuck it up again, can they?

[sparky]

And it's a two point game.

[sparky]

Wales score. It this the end of their long losing run?

[MiketheSnow]

Thank god for that

Hardy and Edwards did their best to fuck that up
