RWC Week 2: England v Japan

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?

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.

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

England with a lineout 5m out.

But Jamie George knocks on.

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

England 13 Japan 9

Half time.

Bones

Monye. England's answer to Justin Marshall..

sparky

Still in the balance, although I suspect if England score first after half time they’ll win comfortably.

Billy Tell

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

They can certainly hope to get out of the group. Japan seem to have a lot of the same players as 2019 and they have regressed.

Jailbreak7

@Billy-Tell Yes its weird. Although the Sunwolves were not great it seems leaving SR has really hurt them.

cgrant

Two poor sides.
