after RWC pool games, seems weird to look back at this. was just a couple of short months ago but the US have pretty much piddled down their own leg while Japan are basically Tier 1 now.

wow, I wonder if the best current strike wingers in the world aren't both Japanese?; Matsushima and Fukuoka. Putting barge-arsed, lead-footed precious Rieko Ioane to shame.

Totally thrilling match. Just desperation all over the park. Well, except for Scotland's drambuie-infused 1st half.

Nice comeback from the caber touchers.

On attack they align and realign almost instantly

Wallow and revel in the nihilist mofif Derps

Camp Leader has informed me that Greig Laidlaw is the most handsome man in the Scottish team. I have booked her an emergency optometrists appointment for halftime

Grumpy Git Godfather Gats will give his team a MASSIVE serve at HT. Yeah, does look to be a bit of a left-field selection choosing Prince Harry to play at 1st 5

Uruguayan fingers in the Welsh B-team's dyke. #not_that_meaning

Tonga hampered by none of their players seeming to have shut-the-gate acceleration so half breaks go uncapitalised on plus support runners just too fat/lazy

7-0 TGA after 20. Sepps defend well but on attack it's too conservative and unskilled. Nothing seems instinctive

How is it that all these matches invariably get a blithering French idiot as the ref yet the biggest nothing matchup of the whole tourney in USA vs Tonga gets..... Nigel Owen.

hardly an exaggeration to say the biggest match in Japan rugby history. They should win. The Scottish forwards will not know what hit them. re:Ireland match. The unparalleled and astonishing 240 days of this year in camp will ensure, teamwork and fitness-wise, they are a well-oiled murder...

That's bonsai for ya

building the new stadium was very inspirational and courageous and all that but plonking it RIGHT in the path of where a 10 metre tsunami passed through, right down at sea level, was, in hindsight, not the flashest idea

Holy crap.

Georgia's crappy dwarf lineout reduced them to spending the entire match on defence Straya would have lost that match to a LOT of other rwc teams.....
