RSA vs Japan

by mikey_dragon Sat 19 Sep 2015, 5:03 pm

First topic message reminder :

There's no thread for this one - I think SA so far look less than impressive. They're trying to play at a high tempo but making mistakes, whilst the Japanese are also playing at that tempo and looking promising. They're certainly hitting hard in the tackle.

RSA should eventually win at a canter, but I wonder what will be said in the aftermath. Please use this thread to discuss that.

Fantastic try for Japan!!!

They just won't give up. Great spirit. Great game!

Eddie Jones is a clever coach.

That was one of his backline moves

I don't know why we've twice kicked the ball away with seven minutes to go.

by eirebilly Sat 19 Sep 2015, 6:37 pm

If no try, penalty try?

by **Notch** Sat 19 Sep 2015, 6:37 pm

How can any camera angle tell us whether this was scored?
