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

[Leinster Fan]

Japan need to wake up here.

Scotland learning the offloading game from Japan!

Shades of Twickenham here!

 

[CymruRygbi]

Also Scotland you're not supposed to be doing this at all. Just let Japan go through.

 

[Which Tyler]

They not gonna have a look at Jamie Ritchie dropping that elbow on the Japanese boy?

Suspect the citing officer might.
Of course, it might have been nothing, wenhavent seen any replays to check it - looked nasty and unecessary though

Are you allowed to take a quick throw a mile behind where it went out? As it provided them more space....

Yeah you can do it from wherever as long as it's behind the mark

 

[TRF_heineken]

Too soon to point out that the game is not over and that a dark-haired SH referee is in charge???

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

All this kicking smacks of Townsend. Perfectly sensible at the start of this particular match but brainless when desperately chasing a game and fighting against the clock.

Nice from Scotland. They are starting to get on top physically and if that happens, anything is possible. 2x tries and a penalty and it will be job done.

Interesting.

 

[donmcdazzle]

That try at the start of the second half from Japan will prove to be so costly for Scotland I think.

 

[Leinster Fan]

That's a penalty based off the tournament so far

Feel like people missed the point of this comment, I was more complaining about the refereeing of the tournament so far, obviously in no same universe should that be given as a penalty.

And the ball must travel over the 5m line when throwing in...

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

If Scotland realised that the first half of a rugby match actually counts then they'd be World Champions.

 

[unrated]

You couldn't have said that at a worse time

Refer back to my comment

Japan need to keep their discipline and have some possession. Scotland still need another 15 points.

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Not sure what I'd advise Japan to do here. They have to be one dimensional and keep trying to score tries. They dont have the tools for game management.

 

[unrated]

You guys have not learned never write off a team in a rugby match until the final whistle has been blown

 

[Groundhog]

Japanese sealing is getting really bad

 

[Leinster Fan]

Promising from Scotland but they still need another 15+ points, Japan only have themselves to blame if they let this slip.

Scotland changes have helped though.

 

[Reiser99]

Love how russell got taken out by his own man and still complained to the ref.

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Tamura is great but I've never seen him kick a drop goal I dont think. This is screaming out for one
