That atmosphere must be awesome.

Loudest RWC crowd since the 2011 final?

[mariner4life]

Japan if they really want to compete here need to find an answer to that catch and drive

Yep, could hear a pin drop. Week before against the Wallabies was much louder and much more fun.

SA offside all day long. Finally got pinged.

They know it's Barnes. All in the coaching.

[Damo]

I wouldn't say that I believe, but Japan do have the strategy to beat the Boks. If they can keep close with 20 to go it will be interesting.

[Kirwan]

Holy shit, it’s like pinball

Point taken. But they made a fair bit of noise when Woodcock went over and at the final whistle.

I’m still flabbergasted Barnes didn’t check that Beast tackle. I can understand if it was another type of YC infringement, but that one is a clear check to see point of contact etc.

[chimoaus]

Japan need to score. They knock it on. SA clear.

There's no excuse for not going upstairs. Absolutely bottled it.
