[RWC2019][Quarter-Final 4] Japan vs. South Africa (20/10/2019)

Clear Japan knock on..... but still Japan playing in 22! Don't do an Aus
 
Ready to root against the pantomime villains here. I wonder what Joseph will have up his sleeve tactically. He has definitely alluded to something unconventional.
 
Kick passing in their own 22, first phase.

Beyond dumb from Japan even if they got away with it.
 
Great tackle from the Boks hooker but pushing his face into the floor after is unnecessary
 
That's a worry...Japan trying to run it from deep instead of getting some territory and then poor tackling to allow an easy score.
 
Great scum by Boks. Japan's scrum didn't go low enough it seems.

missed conversion.

Japan like being behind.
 
Good of Barnes not to blow for the penalty at the scrum, allowed SA to get the try.
 
Japan got what they deserved for trying to play nice fancy rugby in their 22 at this level.
 
Fair play to Japan though. They aren't going to be left thinking they didn't give it their all.
 
Whoever wins this are knocking Wales out next week!

I think it will be SA.

I said after the NZ v SA group game when the teams were shakin my hands I bet they were saying to each other "see you in the final"
