[RWC2019][Pool A] Round 1 - Japan vs. Russia (20/09/2019)

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Japan losing this in this fashion would be a big dampener

 

[argie]

Wow what start!!!

 

[Bada-Bing!]

early days.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Daaaaaamn, glad I didn't chuck a few quid on the handicap (think Bet365 had them at +40?)

 

[Alex Anghel]

Wow, Russia (who took Romania's place in this WC) started brilliantly, let's see how Japan responds.

 

[TRF_heineken]

Easy try that.

 

[Reiser99]

Early days, but sloppy errors.

 

[Rinkadink]

Very poor from Japan there after exiting well but can't say Russia don't deserve points.

 

[Groundhog]

What an awful attempt at Fielding a kick

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What an awful attempt at Fielding a kick

I taught him that

 

[Reiser99]

That should have been a yellow card for the Russian player. Cynical penalty near the try line.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Try time Japan.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Lovely try

 

[Reiser99]

Great off load.

 

[bushytop]

Dat offload tho!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Filthy offload

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Nope, didn't expect him to convert that one.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

All the talk of cultural appropriation on here and y'all just sleeping on Shota Horie's hair? Smh

 

[Groundhog]

I have a tenner on Horie Naruto running in a try.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

So just kick to the Japanese back 3 on every phase, I guess - seems to be working for Russia
