[RWC2019][Pool A] Round 4 - Japan vs. Scotland (13/10/2019)

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Yah dancer. Was just going to say the reshuffled Japaness backline wasnt offering anything so far. Fukuoka seems to have his pace back on that evidence.

Let's not start complaining about tackles being too low now!



in fairness I think the pen was for the jackal not the tackle?

Pen was for the tackle. He didn't wrap his arms. Throwing the shoulder at the shins is also not a legit tackle.
Lovely try that. Graham bought what they were selling.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Graham caught badly in no man's land there.

 

[big ginger 8]

Pretty slick alright.

It's the lack of wrapping rather than the height. Players tend to get away with it as well because it's low, especially at the goaline.

Fukuoka nice
Matsushima right there

 

[Reiser99]

That could be up there for try of the tournament.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Sneaks the conversion. Game on.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Beautiful try

 

[Rinkadink]

Thought offload went forward but was that just me?

 

[CymruRygbi]

We need the sound effects that play after the try over here. And the gongs, for that matter.

 

[Groundhog]

Did the ball get transferred there? If not it can't be a Scot scrum off a kick.

Thought offload went forward but was that just me?

Ssshhh... we're not mentioning it!

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Tamura feeling the nerves. Fortunate that the conversion went over there. No panic for Scotland yet, but their centres could really do with stopping being anonymous at some point.

forward momentum, but the left hand releasing the ball was pointing straight.

 

[TommiG88]

Should that not be a scrum for Japan? Maul from a kick.

 

[Reiser99]

I thought it went back from the highlights, but wasn't a flat angle.

 

[Every Time Ref]

I thought he wrapped to be honest? I know the kind of tackle you mean though

 

[CymruRygbi]

Was that actually a penalty?
