[QUOTE="scuubasteve, post: 144362"] Yeah man, the Japs are definitely on the way up. They've got some talented loosies and midfielders. That No.8 fly's in the face of any perceptions on Japanese physicality! As said above, they do rely a bit on foreigners. But hey, who at this world cup doesn't (Nikki Little is NZ born). Japan's main problem was in nearly every instance that they got a good turnover (and thier loosies were good enough to get alot) they didn't go for the throat with a running counter attack. Instead they kicked for territory and missed many opportunities to score tries. Conversly, Fiji always looked to take those opportunities but were let down by some individual errors. [/QUOTE]
