RWC: France - Japan (10-09-2011, 18:00)

[Getofmeland]

Nice bit of play by the French, this is turning out to be a great game... Japan and France need to learn to kick points...

 

[TNT88]

The Japan halfback's little runs before each pass cut down space for the guys outside him. It only works well when they go wide, but all the forward runners are getting caught behind the advantage line every time because of it.

 

[Surefire]

wow alot of handeling errors on both sides!
France got lucky on several occasions, I hope they tighten up the play

 

[M Two One]

France attempted plenty of poor passes in the first half. So far I haven't been impressed by a few of their vets.

 

[Surefire]

Yachvili looks good at least and ball hawk Trihn Duc is doing OK

 

[M Two One]

I still think Yachvili is their best scrum-half right now.

 

[Getofmeland]

Well after two decisions and two attacking scrums from 5 metres out the Japanese come away with the ball due to a Yachvili knock on...

For the first 3mins of watching this game, I honestly thought it was England playing Japan. The strip.

 

[M Two One]

Second try for Japan, what a nice finish by Arlidge.

 

[TNT88]

Go Japan!!! I need that dude in my dream team.

shame on you son. You must have been baffled when you saw the backs actually moving with some speed...

 

[Getofmeland]

Great Try, great Play, if France are going to make an impression at this World Cup they need to do something fast...

But so far the impression is being made by the Minnows of Rugby!

 

[Hari]

nice crowd. impressive fight by the japanese!

 

[M Two One]

Great Try, great Play, if France are going to make an impression at this World Cup they need to do something fast...

But so far the impression is being made by the Minnows of Rugby!

And to think that a few years ago the IRB was discussing the possibility of lowering the amount of teams at the cup to 16.

 

[Black Heart]

Is this Japan we're watching???

 

[Jman227]

This is the best RWC ever!

 

[Sam Owen]

Its 21-25 OMG!!!!

 

[Seaton]

Mon the Samurai Warriors!!!

Absolute cracker of a game, no way am I not going to watch a game of this world cup when I have an opportunity to do so.

Terrific tourney so far, New Zealanders without ticket must be gutted

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

Only a drop goal for Alridge to become only the second player ever in the RWC to hit a full house!!!

 

[Black Heart]

C'mon Nippon!!!!
