[RWC2019][Pool A] Round 2 - Japan vs. Ireland (28/09/2019)

[Ragey Erasmus]

Japan are a delight to watch

 

[OwenPB]

More diving in here by the Japanese than at the Olympics.
Not a word from the ref. It's quite worrying how blatantly he's ignoring everything.

 

[iamterryknows]

SA vs Japan QF?

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

This is kinda weird. Part of me wants to be happy as i am watching a rather entertaining game, but as an Argentine, i cant eloquently express in words how infuriating it is to watch Japan perform like this.

 

[ncurd]

Japan easily deserve to be in one of the top annual competitions.

Easially better than Italy and Argentina, may beat Scotland. Beat SA at the last world cup. Yeah they have earned a seat at the table moreso than Georgia.



7 point lead!

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Nothing against our Irish friends at all. But I really really want Japan to win this.

 

[TheOvalBall]

This is so good for the game. First Uruguay vs Fiji and now possibly Japan vs Ireland.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Even if/when we do lose, still decent chance to top the pool so long we keep the losing bonus point.

 

[Which Tyler]

G'wan Japan!
They're fully deserving of this lead as well.

 

[Reiser99]

This is exactly what Japan needed to do. Help prove that rugby can expand if given the chance.

 

[Leinster Fan]

OH MY GOD ANGUS GAVE US A PENALTY!!

Didn't know he knew he was allowed do that.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Dat kick from Toby Carvery

Made about 6 inches

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Stupid by Leitch there; he trapped his own man in the ruck.

 

[Every Time Ref]

Carberry looks poor

 

[Mihai Popescu]

... Now Ireland has to dig deep for an equalizer, tbh...

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Japan have got this.

 

[TheOvalBall]

WOW

 

[Which Tyler]

Wow

 

[ncurd]

Japan's breakdown work is immense

God I wish that was a try.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

The drama of the intercept. Unreal!
