RWC: Japan v South Africa (QF 4)

[Mokey]

Head says Boks. Heart says the Blossoms have nothing to lose, and with a massive partisan crowd roaring them on, and the knowledge that they've beaten them before...who knows.

[Kruse]

Jesus... my heart is having palpitations similar to pre-NZ-Ire... can't believe how much I've emotionally invested in the Brave Blossoms.
Or, it may just be the surfeit of booze drunk yesterday, and returning to the scene of the crime of 3 days' late night boozin' in Ueno.

[Kirwan]

Will be interesting if the Joseph/Brown combo has any tricks up their sleeve for the Boks.

Can’t see them handling the measts from the republic

[Gunner]

Bokke by 20, minimum.

I’ll read about it in the morning though, I’m not staying up that late on a school night to watch a game of rugby that doesn’t involve the All Blacks.

Boks will win because their game plan is so clear.
Hard runs from Etzebeth, de Jager and Vermuelen one or two out from the ruck over and over again. And when they are tired, bring on the other two locks to keep doing it.
Second, move the much Japanese forwards back at the breakdown to slow down their ball that they MUST get.
Third, they have a much a taller lineout and more powerful scrum.
I honestly can't see how they lose - but miracles do occur.
Praying for Japan to win.

Soft 😎

[Frank]

He's one of the most likable coaches in the game.

Im working from home tomorrow...

I just hope it's not a blow out, let's hope it's a competitive first 60.

[Kirwan]

Japanese look way too emotional

[Rembrandt]

Christ Im excited for this one. Japan so far have been a hell of an entertaining team to watch

[chimoaus]

When did Steyn turn into an old man? I always remembered him as baby faced. Or maybe I'm the one getting old.

[Nepia]

I feel sorry for the little Japanese girl who had to learn the Saffa anthem(s).

[chimoaus]

Idris Elba needs to stick to acting, his singing isn't much chop.

[Damo]

Go Japan. I have loved them all tournament. Stuff the Jaapies.

Realistically they'll be beaten up savagely in the forwards but maybe Japan's excellent coaches might have the game plan to deal with it.

[chimoaus]

It's kind of like watching a little kid take on the park bully.

[chimoaus]

Japan are going to attack non stop.

[Tim]

Knock on surely?

I thought so to, but no

[chimoaus]

Fuk me, now Barnes sees a forward pass.
