[RWC2019][Quarter-Final 4] Japan vs. South Africa (20/10/2019)

[Reiser99]

Actually S.A are defending well by not committing too early and letting Japan offload into space. Holding their shape well.

 

[geostar]

Do we even need pollard if faf is there? I bet he's the 10 with least ball possession or any other normal flyhalf stat

 

[bushytop]

Japan are ****ing magical!

 

[TommiG88]

If Japan win this, I think they’ll make the final.

 

[donmcdazzle]

Japan are playing a ton of rugby in their own half. At some point that’ll bite them like it did to Aussie against England.

 

[Jer1cho]

I guess Japan are allowed as many forward passes as they want. Cool

 

[Reiser99]

Forward pass when they got out the 22, but they still handle so well.

I'm so glad this has at least been a contest for the first 25mins. The hosts deserve something to cheer in this fixture. I feared the worst after the first try.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Yes I think I have spotted at least 2 missed.

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Haha. I think Barnes knew the Boks were playing for the scrum there, but still didnt give them the advantage. Faf should have just intentionally knocked on himself.

Nope.

The back line is wasted with Faf and his kicking

 

[donmcdazzle]

Yes I think I have spotted at least 2 missed.

Doesn’t sound like Barnes...

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Haven’t seen a flanker on the wing so much since Tom Croft.

 

[donmcdazzle]

Saffa defence is holding up pretty well under a fast and furious attack.

 

[ncurd]

Man the SAffers who said this was going to be a walk over are looking mightily silly now. Like everyone tried to warn them they would.

 

[Jer1cho]

Faf is a piece of trash and should have been dropped a year ago.

 

[Ddanno]

Kinda bored of scrums.

 

[Not Eddie Jones]

Has Kolbe touched the ball yet?

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Doesn’t sound like Barnes...

Not like a Nzer to ever forget.

 

[donmcdazzle]

Faf is a piece of trash and should have been dropped a year ago.

I hate the over the top ****le like where he shoves the other halfback at scrum feeds. So unnecessary
