Japan v England

[MiketheSnow]

England absorb Japanese pressure and adventure and when they have their first real possession for a while they carve up the midfield and Marcus Smith goes in under the sticks untouched

Japan 3 - 14 England

Circle the wagons or this could be a ton up for England

Weathered the early onslaught and now too big, too strong, too quick, too skilled

Femi over in the corner untouched

Japan have some nice shapes and skills with good moves but they're looking to score off every possession

[MiketheSnow]

Fantastic vision from Smith to cross kick to Slade for England's 4th try

Japan 3 - 26 England
Halftime

England four tries up at half time and looking very impressive.

Really surprised to see Marcus Smith being an absolute world beater against powerhouse Japan.

Dumb from Smith
Early tackle
YC

[Bones]

Oh fuck off, that's a PT

[MiketheSnow]

Knock on from Japan off catch and drive 5m out

Poor

[Bones]

No sound on, was there actually a decent reason why an early tackle 5m out that results in a YC isn't a PT?
