[QUOTE="big ginger 8, post: 1060701, member: 53057"] What does this really have to do with my post? I was talking about the players and what we want from their skillsets in our overall gameplan. Nobody has said that Japan are of the same quality or even close to the same quality as NZ so I don't see why people always feel a need to say this stuff other than to try and takeaway from the performance. People said the same thing after the England win, that they weren't at there best. Japan aren't world beaters but they're not as bad as we made them look yesterday. Two weeks ago they lost by 9 points to a pretty full strength Australia side just of the RC while Japan hadn't played since their match against us in July. The 'fact' is we absolutely blitzed them in the first 20 minutes and made it impossible for them to put up a fight. Are we going to do that against NZ or SA? Very unlikely. What you can take from it is if we play with the same intent and variety is that our attack will be very difficult to stop. [/QUOTE]
