RWC: Japan v South Africa (QF 4)
-
presumably the Boks will kick a lot to touch also, challenge the lineout and try to play down their end. When the Boks have the ball in the attacking half, I'd expect a lot of mauling and forward runners 1/2 out to sap Japanese energy with multiple tackles
The Blossoms just looked wrecked at the end of that Scotland game to me, I can't see them living with a team of this size and accuracy for more than 60mins
-
@MajorRage that's what I want to confirm. Is it being played under a roof?
-
@Billy-Webb No roof. It's the same venue as for the NZ vs Ireland game.
-
That is a very good Springbok side.
A side that has size, strength and speed. A side that is disciplined and well coached. A side that knows how to win big games. A side that carries with it a rich And proud history of success. A side that plays fair and in the true spirit of the game played in heaven. A side will approach every match on its merit but looks primed to win three knock out games on the trot. A side that eats pressure for breakfast lunch and dinner.

You are right sorry, I thought it was in Oita. It's not.

Hahahaha. Yup - thought the same thing. Of course I endorse every word @ACT-Crusader said, despite knowing much of it is hot air. One can live in hope.

Loving how you've all got the brown trousers on for these games.
NZ and RSA to win both their matches in a canter.
Its a QF.
Cards are being dished out like candy at a kiddies party.
The Blossoms have rolled the Boks before at a RWC. In fact they have a 100% record against us at World Cups.
And the Japs have home support + all the rest of the world excluding SA.Yes. Forgive me for not being complacent

As someone said earlier, SA probably have China on their side also....

Awesome, thanks guys.
Not that I expect massive viewership from those countries, but nice to know that there would be some support if they bothered to watch

@cgrant said in RWC: Japan v South Africa (QF 4):
And North Korea as well ...
Was meaning to mention that after that map of Japan-vs-SA-support was posted, but too lazy... I've just come back from the glorious DPRK, and yeah... unless Japan was playing the imperialist dogs of the USA... they'd be supporting anybody but.
-
@Billy-Webb said in RWC: Japan v South Africa (QF 4):
some Ferner insight
You actually wanted poorly researched "facts" and opinions?
You came to the right place. The match is at Oita, under a roof, on Tuesday.

The DPRK - despite considering Rugby a bourgeois sign of decadence - already won the rugby world cup by defeating the USA 5-0 in a 9 game playoff series.
Dear Leader scored all the points in each game with results being 42-0, 58-0, 43-0, 29-0 (rain affected), 67-0.

He then played a round of golf and shot an 18 - again.
THe fact he's still trying for 17 is to be admired.
