RWC Week 2: England v Japan

[MiketheSnow]

Why is there this fascination with kicking inside the 22?

Such low return

[MiketheSnow]

Earl was lucky there

[MiketheSnow]

England should be doing what Australia should have done

Kick it long, kick it dead

[MiketheSnow]

Another carpet malfunction

[Jailbreak7]

@MiketheSnow Bloody shitty moth-eaten carpet too

[MiketheSnow]

Should have been a pen against Ludlum for sealing off

[mantissanet]

I really like that. Second time in two days that I have seen a referee reverse a scrum penalty call based on the turf being a problem

[Billy Tell]

Japan have gifted the poms their points.

[Jailbreak7]

Simply have to nail those LOs.

[MiketheSnow]

Japan need to run them ragged

[Tim]

Japan hard done by there?

[sparky]

England 10 Japan 9

Another upset possible?

[Billy Tell]

This game is a bit of a cripple fight so far

[LABCAT]

England definitely winning the bomb battle.

[Jailbreak7]

Neither team have settled yet. Scrappy game.

[sparky]

I think Samoa have a real chance to top Group D.

[sparky]

England with a lineout 5m out.

[sparky]

But Jamie George knocks on.

[sparky]

Japan offside. George Ford with a chance at a shot at goal.

England 13 Japan 9

Half time.
