[QUOTE="Welshdragon2000, post: 909953, member: 74797"] Great result for Tonga, they've done very well over the past few years and I thought they were very unfortunate to lose against Georgia a couple of weeks back. Japan have done well to hammer Georgia, that's no mean feat but Georgia have been very disappointing this June and there needs to be serious changes in November. I would bring in Aprasidze and Abzhandadze at 9 and 10 and sort out the wingers. The forwards coach needs to go to and if the poor results continue in November then Haig's position may be under threat. All being said, the Japan game came after the PI tour which would have tired the players and the only reason the margin of defeat to Fiji was so big is as a result of 3 tries being scored directly off a scrum going backwards (which is a disgrace for Georgia given the talent in their forwards). USA continuing good form with a professional win over Canada. It's looking very positive for them going into November especially given they will be playing 4 very challenging tests which will benefit them going into the World Cup. My only worry is the lack of depth outside the squad of 23, hopefully the MLR can help build some depth. Namibia apparently played excellent (obviously) but Tunisia only had 5 subs and I'm not sure if they had 2 props but the scrums were not uncontested despite that. Kenya looked pretty poor against Morocco who deserved to win and their goal kicker left too many points out there that would have won them the game. Kenya's union is in complete turmoil right now and they have serious issues there which would affect players' morale and the performances as a result. I'll post my thoughts on the upcoming games later on in the week. [/QUOTE]
