RWC: Japan v South Africa (QF 4)

[Rembrandt]

Got a feeling the floodgates might burst soon. Hope Im wrong. An intercept against the run of play would be pretty good about now

[Kirwan]

Missed kick, the luck they need?

This endless kicking is idiotic from the Boks.

Do you not like scoring tries???

They want to control the tempo of the game.
No endless running and rucks.

[Kirwan]

Japan have stopped offloading, much easier to defend against.

[Rebound]

Wayne Barnes just reminded me why he's a shit ref. Clearly decides the Boks is too strong and all rucks turnover can only go to them

[Damo]

Japan are tired. Where's Tanaka?

[Tim]

@Kirwan Much harder to do against SA's defence than the weak shit put out by Ireland and Scotland.

Was working fine in the first half. It’s the fitness going for the Japanese

All-time daft performance from the Boks. They look great when they rumble, the kicking has been bizarre. How do endless Faf box kicks control tempo?

Zero structure tonight.

[Tim]

@Kirwan Nah, they didn't get many off loads away compared with usual. More than this half though.

[Rembrandt]

Why aren't Japan kicking long? Need some time outside the 22

[Tim]

@Rembrandt They're getting shit ball. Hard to set up a good kick chase when you're so far behind the advantage line.

[antipodean]

That's a very soft penalty. Boks look terrible against a tired and limited team.

[No Quarter]

The ferocity of the tackling has taken a toll on Japan's attack

[Rebound]

So a tackle around the ball is high

[Tim]

@Rebound Headgear grab.

[ACT Crusader]

So Colby flips a Japanese player over the horizontal and....

[Anonymous]

So the ball carrier is allowed to lift defenders over their shoulders and drop them?

Barely touched it. The player was reacting to the player landing on his ankle

[Rebound]

@Anonymous and get as penalty for hurting himself
