[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 1062198, member: 39190"] I don't expect anything close to a 20 point winning margin for us but it would be nice. Would England be capable of a Japan 2015? There are certainly some of that match that they could try to replicate. Japan are excellent at not allowing a scrum to develop. On attack they also like to attack space rather than our bigger bodies and are excellent at upping the tempo and attacking space. On defense Japan went for the legs rather than high. They also double marked which worked a treat since we looked incapable of anything but one off runners. That match though our starting backline was very much a rotational one and there wasn't a single partnership with a single cap in that backline line up. Also, Poite was the ref. Everything went right for Japan and wrong for us. That said though I don't think a lot of that game can be seen as translatable to this match England have better individuals if not necessarily a better team dynamic but perhaps you have that as well. There is a reason you are rated #3 in the world and Japan #10 so everything does not have to translate for England to come out on top. [/QUOTE]
