OK lads, let’s call off the dogs now… We need to pull together before facing NZ in a few weeks.

Eh Samoa might have a say in this yet.

I just heard a belter on the radio. Because Japan beat Ireland, Ireland can beat the All Blacks. We’ve gone from number one ranked team to plucky underdogs in the space of a week.

This just keeps getting better!

I’d fancy japan to beat Wales and Australia if they met them.

[anon32894817]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Scotland beat japan too. I’ve a feeling we could end up meeting South Africa. I wouldn’t get too excited just yet.

Holy fuck you’re some psychic. Scotland will be massive favourites against Japan. Last WC Japan got a huge result against South Africa and then took a beating to Scotland and still went out. It’s working out the exact same way. Scotland will be very confident against Japan.

Lads seems to want everyone to Lynch the management and the players. We are still on target. Yesterday was a minor hiccup.

I actually agree, a lot of over reactions, you don’t change from a good team to a shit team in the space of 1 match. This shit about humidity is annoying though.

Also revelling in Ireland losing is despicable.

[anon32894817]

Anybody that revels in their own country losing a sports event usually have seriously issues on a personal level.

[Tank]

Basically every cunt on the embarrassing capitulations thread then.

Actually, one to look out for would be to see if there’s any value on Scotland vs Japan. All of this has happened before.

[anon32894817]

I’m not so sure why lads are getting so worked up over the result.

@anon32894817

in their own country

not my country. they play under the IRFU flag and don’t play our national anthem

[anon32894817]

So Ireland isn’t your country sorry.

[anon78624367]

it is, but the Irish Rugby Union team does not represent the country of Ireland. They represent the IRFU. They do not play under the tricolour and do not stand for the National Anthem of Ireland.

[Ashman]

They do represent the country of Ireland . They just don’t solely represent the free state .

Wales are generally accepted to be one of the fittest if not the fittest teams in international rugby. They’ve looked out on their feet since half time. Temperature in the high 20’s and 75% humidity in Tokyo today.

I thought it was fantastic to see the positive impact Stephen Jones has had on their style of play almost immediately. The tempo in their game he has introduced was a sight to behold.

@Loko_Cove

No one gives a flying fuck about Union in Australia. It will barely get a page in the sports section

Apparently they have the biggest travelling support in Japan

@fistoffury

Biggar’s injury seemed to come from a no arms shoulder charge preventing a try in the first half.

It was a most woeful effort from him

Sure most of those Japan lad were around the 6ft mark Irelands giants suffered. Young klyne should have been brought in in the last 20 min to get a run around
