Anyone feeling sorry for Japan yet!?

38-0 down at half time and then NZ bring on a porfessional heavy weight boxer into the back line to make it worse!!
Who duely goes on to score!

59-0 now after 58 minutes!

[pa___ul3]

59-5!! Japan have scored!!

Nope..I'm saving all my sympathy for Ireland in the morning..against Australia...

[pa___ul3]

83-7! oosh! I suppose that's what you get if your nickname is "the Cherry Blossoms"!
Ireland should put up a better fight than that, be interesting to see just how good the Aussies are!

[Noraq]

Pa-ul..not if they continue to play like they have been...(Ireland I mean)..personally..I think we will get marmalized...I'll be delighted to be proved wrong.

We (Ireland) have not played that badly, just not as well as allegedly we are capable of doing.

Match of the weekend: Wales v Samoa on Sunday morning...

[Noraq]

Agreed Icheria, we are capable of so much better. Everything crossed for to-morrow.

Pocock has back strain..he may not play to-morrow ( just heard on the Radio)

I hope he feels better soon...just not this Week-End please God. =)

well the Japanese did much better than their last WC match against the ABers - 145-0 then

[Noraq]

last one was 145-17 (back in 1995), so that's quite a marked improvement. Nice to see the locals booing when they were denied another try, too.
