  • I have seen the first half only, very impressed by Japan with the skills, execution speed, tactics and all.
    To be fair to Scotland, the way Japan played yesterday they would have completely crushed many teams of the tournament.

    Doesn't help that we spent the first half kicking away what little possession we had.

    Quite unsure that they will be able to reproduce it against SA though

    They will. Do you know the secret to their success? Every player in the squad plays for the sunwolves, and their coach is also DOR at the sunwolves. They are essentially a club team and have had at a minimum double the amount of time together that any other squad has.

    Actually quite disappointed no to see Scotland go through instead of Ireland

    Don't be. Scotland's issues fall at the feet of 2 people Mark Dodson and Gregor Townsend. Dodson because he should have told Toonie to fuck away off and boil his heed when the later started threatening to go to France unless he got Cotter's job and Townsend for thinking that he could do better than stern Vern. One of the two of those must go now my preference is Townsend to be replaced by either Cockers or Dave Rennie.

    Which makes it all the more surprising that the Sunwolves didn’t get an extension on their Super Rugby deal.

  • See below - because they didn't actually play any of their test players and were basically rubbish. I think Super Rugby were really unimpressed with their approach...
