[RWC2023] England vs Japan (17/09/2023)

[Welsh Exile]

Fucks sake Japan.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Ahhhh, that sucks.

Hole in the laws it kind of feels like.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Steward was terrible in that period of Japanese attack, so stuck in the mud

 

[Grizwald]

What was Mitchell doing there? Set himself to make the tackle and he was a meter away from him.

 

[ThebigARena]

Definitely have to drill the header into rugby absolute genius can head it forward

 

[Amiga500]

England are so fukkin jammy

 

[IT157]

Is there anyone who couldn't side step Steward?

 

[die_mole]

Is there anyone who couldn't side step Steward?

Daly

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Is there anyone who couldn't side step Steward?

Steward, probably

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Three decent phases and we manage to knock it on in the ******* clearout

 

[Scotty]

One thing that worries me is the one thing Mitchell is doing well is getting the ball away quickly...we lose that soon when Youngs comes on.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

I am genuinely going to be upset if Japan don't go on to win this.

That breakout suggested some of our players are pretty tired now.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Never thought I'd be happy to see Youngs coming on

Shame we couldn't bring Rodd on, at least he likes carrying and jackaling which is more than can be said for anyone else in the 23 other than Earl

 

[Grizwald]

Mitchell's had a stinker.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Onion headline would have to be "30 grown men audition for just one part time role at the Daventry circus"

I say that, a few good things from Japan in these last 5 so I shouldn't be so mean

 

[Welsh Exile]

The absolute shitness that is Wales, Australia, England and Argentina makes you think just give the qualifying spots to Japan, Samoa, Georgia and Fiji.

 

[IT157]

Daly

I was going to say him or Halfpenny. Maybe

 

[TW27BA]

Youngs on.
That will speed the game up, said no one ever.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Oh great, Farrell available vs Chile so we won't even get a try BP vs them

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Do you know how Japanese (and I think Asians in general) find that westerners stink? I think it's something to do with the dairy in our diet?

I reckon the stadium will clear out now that Smellis is on.
