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

[Leinster Fan]

Weekend ruined, thanks lads.

 

[Reiser99]

Why did he kick that at the end? Did he think time wasn't up?

Did Carbery deliberately kick it out for the losing BP?

 

[General Melchett]

Carbery WTF?!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Japan you absolute lads

 

[Mihai Popescu]

Japan is taking this to full time... OMG!...

 

[bushytop]

So my hot-take... Wales need to throw the match against Oz tomorrow, to avoid Japan in the Semis!

[Leinster Fan]

Why did Carbery kick it out?

Better to keep the bonus point than throw it away chasing a try we wouldn't get.

 

[Jimbo]

Wtf is a loosing bonus that valuable you just accept the defeat and run instead of trying from your own try line...

 

[ncurd]

Can only think "preserve loosing BP" which shows how rattled Ireland were.

 

[BPM]

Huge credit to Japan for a MASSIVE performance. Odds on favourites to win the group now and a rematch with SA!

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

That's made the World Cup. Wonderful.

And I really wouldn't want to be inside Gregor Townsend's head right now.

 

[Mihai Popescu]

... and Japan made it!!! WTF???...

 

[big ginger 8]

Well done Japan.

Not our worst performance ever but if we don't have Sexton there's no chance we win any possible quarter.

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

So.... this would make NZ #3 team in the world.

 

[Gena_ZA]

oops, go make the sequel to your movie Japan...
Best players on the park was CJ and Lappies, both SA players, the irony is killing me
I need a saki

 

[Reiser99]

Blows the pool wide open. BP's very valuable now.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Well done Japan, carry it into the quarters this time. Not letting us score for over an hour is all you need to know.

Not great from us, we got given nothing but we knew that'd be the case. Look, we're in the QF bar something ten times worse than we saw today, we can beat whoever we play with a couple minor changes and big improvements. Sickening now though.
