[RWC2019][Pool A] Round 2 - Japan vs. Ireland (28/09/2019)

[Leonormous Boozer]

We're out on our feet

 

[bushytop]

Dey tink it's all over... it is noi!

 

[Leinster Fan]

Carbery has been really poor.

Sexton's ability to fix the first man is badly missed.

 

[Reiser99]

This is so intense.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Holy ****.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Soooo close.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Insane from Earls, what a trackback

 

[ratsapprentice]

Fukuoka!

 

[big ginger 8]

That was shite.

Carbery decision making has been crap and all the starters look exhausted. Japan seem to have way more energy.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Unless we somehow turn this around, credit to Japan. Deserved win.

There'll be a massive overreaction to Ireland's performance, which honestly hasn't been too bad. Not the end of the world either, still a decent chance to top the pool and not the end of the world if we don't.

 

[bushytop]

How chill was the jap kid in specs?

 

[TheOvalBall]

World Rugby needs to fix this time wasting at scrums. Call a time out, and the time on when ball can be thrown in.

 

[stus768]

Why not set up for drop goal?

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Why not set up for drop goal?

Did you see his earlier attempt?

 

[Mihai Popescu]

... Japan was so near to a shootout...

 

[Rinkadink]

Please world rugby, stop the clock when scrum is called and wave time back on when ball in.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Lads please preserve the bonus point.

 

[ncurd]

Why did Ireland kick that off?


Yeeeehaaaa!!!!

 

[TommiG88]

Why did Carbery kick it out?

 

[Which Tyler]

WTF was he thinking there?
If ever there's a time for kicking the ball as far down the middle of the pitch as you can!
