Lambie's looking great.

Looks like Heyneke's doing his bit for transformation.

Never heard of them.

South Africa have some serious firepower across the park and won the toss.

Tipping RSA 60+

If the Japanese could maintain this pace they would be on track for upset of the tournament. Eddie Jones is really quite brilliant. If the team opposite you picks a team of old age pensioners, just up the tempo to 11.

But I don't think they'll be able to maintain the pace and SA power will win out eventually.

 

[ChargerWA]

Quick taps from penalties and throwing over the back of the line out to keep the ball away from traditional SA strengths. Clever.

 

[Hawko]

Scores would be appreciated. Am in Madrid without TV. Thanks.

Boks are cruising and rolling maul has looked good. Japan starting to slow down as the quick tempo is taking its toll.

7-3 Boks. 25min gone

 

[ChargerWA]

Is Garces the best performing ref so far? Blight on the game that it's probably true at this point.

Japan rolling maul SCORES!!! Eddie Jones is a genius

10-7. 30 played

Hope you didn't put money on it!! SA looking pretty flat overall outside of the set piece

 

[USARugger]

Another rolling maul try to SA

12-10 to the Boks, kick to come

Kick was wide!

Thankfully not.

Agree South African set piece looks good, backs don't quite yet have the same polish as the Irish did earlier.

12-10 HT.

12-10 HT.

Somewhat ironically the SA backs are struggling to match or even keep up with the physicality of the JAP backs

 

[Marcelo]

The Wallabies can beat England and South Africa easily

Penalty to Japan

13-12
