KICK OFF (UK TIME)

SCOTLAND
WORLD RANKING 9TH

Referee: Ben O'Keeffe

(Or not at all)

Is this Schrodinger's game in that it can be considered both on and cancelled at the same time? I'm sure Jimbo will correct me in my interpretation....

Hopefully a game more like USA and Tonga than the shower Wales just served up please!

by **RDW** Sun 13 Oct 2019, 11:47 am

Come on Scotland!!!

by tigertattie Sun 13 Oct 2019, 11:49 am

Crikey. Even Jonny Gray is fired up

by **RDW** Sun 13 Oct 2019, 11:50 am

Why are we forcing it!!!!

by tigertattie Sun 13 Oct 2019, 11:51 am

Oh dear lord what’s Finn doing now

Plug there for a Glove T-shirt

If it doesn't, it may be because Japan have done their homework. Can't imagine what it's like playing a team who knows your plans like the back of their han, who are like a mirror of you, who are reading and expecting what you do, and also have their own answers - like that kick off.

It's what Wales did to England in the 6Ns, and Australia to NZ in their win in the summer. Mimic the opposition while then also picking at their weaknesses.

Good start already!

Can anyone PM me a stream for this one?

Clever kick by Russell there. Graham could have done better but a turn over and again clever work by Russell. 3 more lads Very Happy

You mean you’re not in Yokohama in a corporate box poised for any required legal action??

Good to see Scotland actually starting a game at full throttle for once

by Duty281 Sun 13 Oct 2019, 12:03 pm

Fortuitous couple of refereeing calls in Scotland’s favour...good sign for them.

by **RDW** Sun 13 Oct 2019, 12:04 pm

That. Wasn't a no arms tackle!

by tigertattie Sun 13 Oct 2019, 12:05 pm

I’m nervous

Fantastic try. Game on... nerves are shredded!

by No 7&1/2 Sun 13 Oct 2019, 12:08 pm

Forward pass at the end I think. Not being checked.

by Old Man Sun 13 Oct 2019, 12:08 pm

Great offload

by **RDW** Sun 13 Oct 2019, 12:08 pm

Lovely try bit poor defence - we had the numbers

Graham left in no man's land

by Geordie Sun 13 Oct 2019, 12:08 pm

Yes Japan!!!!

On the last Replay there was definite wrap but he fell off after the contact

Great try for Japan 7-7 after 20 mintues. going to a be a cracker.

by **RDW** Sun 13 Oct 2019, 12:10 pm

I suspect we're going to need a BP here!

That was nowhere near forward.

by No 7&1/2 Sun 13 Oct 2019, 12:11 pm

Bar the fact he throws it forward you're correct soul!

by majesticimperialman Sun 13 Oct 2019, 12:14 pm

Scotland collapesing the scrum.

by Geordie Sun 13 Oct 2019, 12:16 pm

by tigertattie Sun 13 Oct 2019, 12:17 pm

Moral of the story. Don’t be like Ireland and let Japan have the ball

by majesticimperialman Sun 13 Oct 2019, 12:17 pm

Scotland are under the cosh right now. Another great try for Japan,

by Soul Requiem Sun 13 Oct 2019, 12:17 pm

Japan are a wonderful side to watch.

by TheMildlyFranticLlama Sun 13 Oct 2019, 12:17 pm

That was incredible rugby, fair play

by funnyExiledScot Sun 13 Oct 2019, 12:17 pm

Turning into a one-sided contest. We're being completely outclassed in attack.

1st thought forward but his arm was at full stretch infront when he flicked it up. So it looks forward compared to where his body is at.

I am not saying it wasn't, just I can see a reason why.
