Japan vs England - 22/06/24

[Reiser99]

Great try. The fact that they are trying it bodes well, even if another team will defend it better.

 

[Scotty]

Constant defending against a quick offloading team that have kept them to zero tries and had 2 real oppotunities and took them.

With the conditions and how Japan are trying to play we are putting in a good performance id say.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yeah we've definitely settled into the game after that first 10

 

[Quel Carreleur]

WTF Rodd?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Rodd dummying a quick tap and accidentally taking it

200 IQ plays

 

[Reiser99]

Japan starting to show their inexperience. Attack is exciting, but defence has holes.

 

[JG-21]

score one and keep attacking - someone show Southgate! But Bevan what are you doing?

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Power and experience differentials kicking in.

My geography of the North isn't great, but I don't think Borthwick is Yorkshire?

Not even from Yorkshire

Is there a replay of this game later today/tomorrow?

Another classic case of Cumbria erasion

Let's face facts. Any where outside London and the home countries is a lawless wilderness that all blurs into one.

Saw someone say that RugbyPass keep their games on the app after they've finished, not sure if this is actually the case though cause this is the first time I've used it

 

[BrokenWing]

Is there a replay of this game later today/tomorrow?

I imagine RugbyPass will at least put up highlights.

 

[Welsh Exile]

Meh, think I’ll just see what you dicks have to say on here. Probably get a better overview than some 10 min highlights.

 

[Reiser99]

Tbh, it's not the best watch. Japan started brightly, but have fallen off the pace. England have settled now and look comfortable now. If this keeps up it'll end up being a very one sided game.

 

[Scotty]

Not only giving away a pen for driving early at the maul but having CCS landing on your head for your troubles

 

[BrokenWing]

Hands are on the floor, hands are on the floor, knees are on the floor, wins the penalty.

England's you tube channel

 

[Reiser99]

Lovely kick

 

[JG-21]

a good variety of tries in the first 40

 

[Ferrari333SP]

Great read by Smith

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Cheeky

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

That is remarkable vision from Smith.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Sinfield demoted from defence coach to carrying Marcus Smith's sweaty towel

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Hahahaha could hear Smith telling the ball to eff off as it went wide

 

[Scotty]

I'd go mass changes at 50 min, save the legs on some players who have put a shift in and get some good minutes into the other lads

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Do feel like the prop choices were wrong for this game

I would've started Baxter/Stuart and had Marler/Heyes on the bench

Don't learn anything from Cole starting, and think Baxter deserves the start for his form this year

 

[Reiser99]

Underhill still hasn't scored for England has he?
