[November Tests 2016 EOYT] Japan vs. Argentina (05/11/2016)

[marianodan]

Our players are so soft at times, it looks like it just takes a caress from the opponent for them to knock it on...

Very good try Argentina. Some really nice handling there.

 

[TheOvalBall]

Japan certainly look promising. They will definitely be a team to watch under Joseph.

I think that has to be the most comprehensive performance I have seen from Los Pumas in a long, long time.

Japan's try at the end was a real gem!

 

[petite]

we just can't give away two trys like this to this second japan team. next week is going to be really different vs wales they will punish every mistake. every stupid knock on

 

[marianodan]

****ty anarchic defending like always. Wales/Scotland will put 40 on us.

yep specially when kicking. this team looks so unable to.pressure the ball after kicking. every time they leave the ball in the field the Japanese looked dangerous. I just don't get it. they should always kick to touch

can anyone give me a summary of los pumas perfomance? (aka should we be worried, are they playing like they did against Ireland in the RWC? *panics*)

Highlights below. Some nice tries and puts into context Scotlands struggles in Japan in June. Japan need to get their problems sorted with top players not joining the Sunwolves and deciding not to play for the national side (which is already infuriating Joseph). Japan could struggle to win a game in this window I think whereas at full strength they would have had a chance of a couple of wins. Argentina looked their usual entertaining self but I doubt they had to play in top gear, so hard to tell. Game against Scotland should be a cracker.

thanks for the summary and link! - they certainly are entertaining to watch. i will be at the stadium for the wales-arg game, cant wait

If wales plays like today against Aussies then Pumas have a good chance. they looked so slow sometimes at defense.

This game was out of the window, was it a revenue sharing venture for Argentina? Anyone know?
