RWC Week 5: Japan v Argentina

[sparky]

Japan 27 Argentina 34

This is an all-time classic in Nantes.

[sparky]

Hat trick for Carreras.

[Stargazer]

This game is a great watch. It's so close and still everything at stake.

[sparky]

Japan 27 Argentina 36.

Ten minutes to go.

Can Japan respond?

[Bones]

Yuck eh. Argentina kick long, Japanese fullback fields it and does a nothing kick straight away without even looking up, just turns it over to Argentina with a 30m gain without even trying.

Clutch

That’s the match for the Argies

Great game

Take a bow Argentina
Take a bow Japan
Take a bow BOK

[Bones]

Japan have been disappointing for me. So many crappy decisions and just switching off. Well taken win by Argentina though.

[MiketheSnow]

Yep

Had more than enough pill to win

[sparky]

One minute to go. The Pumas are going to win.

[Bones]

Hopefully this is the kick up the arse Argentina need to start playing to their potential.

[sparky]

All over. Argentina win. A QF against Wales awaits and a great opportunity to go deep into the tournament.

We can do them

That was the best pool game to actually watch despite the errors etc.

Final QF spot on the line and both teams threw everything at it. Thought the pace of the game was excellent. Some excellent tries.

Argies showed a little more accuracy.

Surely on the evidence so far BOK gets the final if the ABs don't make it.

[Bovidae]

Not that it made any difference but watching the end of the game Leitch was definitely tackled in the air before the Japan accidental offside. I don't know how BOK and the ARs missed that.

Cracking match - this last round has had some humdingers (and England).

Yeah there were errors but in the heat with a genuine contest it was a great advertisement for the game, with little to no fucking around from the TMO.

I wish the Wallabies would play with the kind of accuracy Japan have.
