@Billy-Tell He's got to be in the conversation for an All Black coaching role.
Let's not copy England and Eddie Jones...

@Victor-Meldrew I'd say similar to Murrays...
That was a mammoth defensive effort by Japan, simply outstanding, thought Ireland would open them up in the final quarter, but Japan just kept getting up and knocking them back!

Best doing a good job in the post match interview. Took nothing away from that Japanese effort.

Nagare, the Japanese Half Back, was outstanding.
And they have Tanaka - who's seriously classy - coming on to replace him

@Tim said in RWC: Japan v Ireland (Pool A):
Leitch was huge today.
Mafi’s ball running in the first half was huge, but when Leitch came on the intensity went up a gear especially defensively. The team really followed his lead.
Really impressed with the Japanese tight 5 reserves. Those front row reserves really landed their hits.
Massive game coming Japan and Scotland.

Fuck you Schmidt - post-match interview.
You weren't hard done by, you were done over.
Wear it.

my FB feed has exploded with a range of comments about the Irish....

@MiketheSnow I didnt watch, what was he moaning about?
I know Murray wasnt happy as he wasnt getting the penalty at every break down, I thought Gardner did well not letting him milk penalties all day
-
The surge upfield that resulted in the penalty that haven Japan a 7 point lead, after defending like demons for 15 minutes straight, was the defining moment of the game for me. Just incredible.

Schimdt whinging about the ref. Just cop it mate. You lost to a better team on the day.
No fucking way I ever want Joe Schmidt anywhere near the All Blacks coaching set up after that interview. Totally pathetic and classless.
