Japan vs England
06:50 - 22/06/2024​

 

[Brigantine]

Japan Squad: 8 debutants, 4 more players with 3 caps or fewer. Other than Leitch, the most experienced player starting has 19 caps
Median caps: 3

England Squad: 1 debutant, 2 more players with 3 or fewer caps
Median caps: 24

I expect this to be every bit as competitive as the UK election

 

[Reiser99]

Oh we have a match thread.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Great start, my app won't cast - the Rugbypass logo is on my TV but the game just says connecting on my phone

 

[Reiser99]

I've got it, but already had it disconnect a couple of times.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Quit the app a few times and we're in business now, just in time to see Japan take the lead

CCS dropped the kickoff. England made one tackle and didn't roll.

 

[Which Tyler]

App is juddery, but Japan... 'kin 'ell

Cole is going to need a defibrillator at HT

 

[Reiser99]

Japan playing well. Feyi-Waboso got caught shooting out the line. England look a bit disjointed at the moment.

 

[JG-21]

incredible tempo from Japan

 

[Reiser99]

Website keeps signing me out...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Playing like a bag of ****, fair play

 

[Reiser99]

Seem to be missing a lot of first tackles and already given away 3/4 penalties.

 

[JG-21]

4 penalties in 8 minutes

 

[Which Tyler]

Ramos needs to be quicker getting to the mark and letting Japan play. It's not his job to give England oxygen

 

[TRF_Olyy]

There's a lot to say about the rest of his game but you can't deny CCS's skill in contact

IFW getting ragdolled by the Japanese defence, though - not seen that before

 

[JG-21]

first try, but looking second best

 

[Reiser99]

4th time I've been signed out. Not enjoying RugbyPass.

 

[Which Tyler]

No need to get I to a kicking duel here.

I guess it's still the Borthwick way

More panicked by the pace, I'd say.

Play keep-ball and it should be comfortable. Surely we're capable of just not giving them the ball to run around with.

Play Quins-ball, and we won't keep up with them, and they'll out fitness us.
