Ed Quirk to the Japanese Super Rugby team according to Payto & Panda article:

You can't lay the blame of the lineout woes solely at the feet of Moore though. It should hopefully improve though. I'd be more concerned if we played well and we won as we did tonight.

Hope these two teams maim each other. Help an Antipodean out.

Mate, that's all well and good in hindsight to say we needed to go for the fourth try, but the fact is we defended for the majority of the last 20 minutes, and the game was on a knife edge. Considering how Fiji came back hard in the second half, and the fact it was our first game in weeks, the...

The Big Man glides through the defence! Majestic

Fuck it, I wouldn't mind if Poey's scores all the tries this match through lineout drives. Just play it tight and avoid showing our hand so to speak.

Cheers McKee for starting Volavola.

He raked in front of the ball

The Southlander with the try

Scintillating Japanese attack. For small guys, they get over the advantage with such ease.

Banzai!

Put $5 on Japan at $7 odds - Japan better get up!

That's all well and good for the fans to have this expectation of trouncing Fiji, but we don't want the players to presume they can just turn up and win. A bit of humility is in order I think. Have a Cuban Revolution case study and an essay due Friday morning, but the rugby takes precedence.

The Telegraph is reporting that Farrell, Burgess and Barritt will combine at 10-12-13. Gatlandball v Lancasterball

In the smatterings of NRC games I've seen, Matt Phillip of the Stars has played well. Has the dimensions of an out-and-out lock forward too. Aditionally, Louisi seems to be coming good.

Who would likely move to 8 in the event that Pocock has to come from the field (touch wood he does not though)? Fardy? Mumm?

Really highlights our depth that we can afford to select based on a 'horses for courses' policy; cases in point: Horne > Mitchell and Tomane, Genia > Phipps, Simmons > Mumm (who'd have said Mumm would be in calculations a few months ago!) Expecting SMF to have a huge game. By all reports...

This is going to be an absolute cracker; Scotland in fine form in the warm ups with a marked improvement in their attacking play, up against Japan - who will be riding the wave of hype from their SA win. Cant wait!

I just hope Fiji doesn't ambush us.
