Very unlucky the French. Red card was idiotic, but they did enough to win from there. Denied a clear penalty near the end in front of goal and lost to a forward strip.

Deserved send off, but then Moriarty in any other game gets a red too. Ball looked forward. Wales were poor.

I was just talking about Cheika to my gf and I got a popup on my ipad saying he has resigned.
I think it’s a good move,we need fresh ideas going forward.

Boom. Japan just need to realise this isn't pool play.

How many non Japanese do Japan have playing for them? How do they get picked?

Pretty sure I heard then say they had 10 nationals. Qualification rules like all other nations.

Guess this explains why Japan aren't in the Rugby Championship. Other countries' leftovers play for them.
Through residency and, eventually, citizenship.

No chance of getting the ball there.
Can't people can't migrate to other countries and take on that country as their own?

The speed of this game is something else.
Every country is full of imports, not just japan.

What a roar.
Well the other possibility is that you're saying that Japan isn't one of the best teams at this World Cup because they just have the 'leftovers' of the best teams, which doesn't really match with what we've seen so far all tournament.

Japan playing scintillating rugby.
