RWC: Japan v South Africa (QF 4)

[Magpie_in_aus]

Is that not obstruction when you roll the maul into no one?

[Rebound]

@Magpie_in_aus exactly should be a penalty to Japan

[Tim]

Final score? I reckon about 31 -3.

Mauls are a blight on the game when players join in front of the ball carrier.

If only there was a law against that.

That's truck and trailer isn't it?

[Frank]

Japan too tired and too small.

Two Bok players rush in and join the side of the maul to drive. Last time I checked the laws any player that joins a maul needs to do so from the back.

Think it’s still the original maul so no obstruction

[Rebound]

@junior do you understand the definition of a mail in the laws of the game. Must be an opposition player attached

Its ending the way most of us expected. But the Japanese have done themselves proud, and saffaland was made to work hard

[canefan]

Come on Japan, cross the line

Nup.

Bad guys finishing hard.

[antipodean]

How have they not worked out to throw to the front of the lineout?

Should’ve gone long I reckon.

[Stargazer]

This score is flattering SA big time. Doesn't reflect the great effort of Japan.

[LABCAT]

Japan have lost a lot line outs, not tall enough?

[Damo]

Oh well. Night all

[Tim]

There are probably four top level teams for forward pack physical power - NZ, SA, England, France. Three have cruised through, and France red-carded themselves.

[No Quarter]

SA haven't shown much on attack, but they never do really. This has been a pretty dominant performance playing to their strengths. Just haven't let Japan play and their defense has been brutal. Has pretty much gone as expected in the end.

[voodoo]

Faf's kicking has been hopeless tonight.
