31 players living and playing full time in japan. Huge advantage. I suspect as the tournament wears on itâll become less of a factor as teams get used to it.

Playing in a country that doesnât play rugby.
Conditions my arse. The game could have been played up the top of mount Fuji and Ireland still should have won.
As embarrassing a bottle job as ever produced.

Interest waning amongst the rugby once every four years soccer types after a minor setback. In the space of six days theyâve gone from non stop rugby talk, discussing potential final opponents for Ireland and planning the homecoming when Ireland win the World Cup to reverting to soccer talk, mostly on the last of the three times Eire made it to a soccer World Cup, pushing up on 20 years ago.

After the desperate news about the health and safety standards of sushi in Ireland in the last week, its safe to say the Japanese needed this more.
