That try has let them settle into this. They're controlling the game now.
And who the f*ck fell off that tackle?

It's nice play by Japan but the defence is so fucking poor.

It was fantastic in the opening few minutes. Gone to complete shit now.
That's Gilchrist and fucking BRADBURY getting bounced by Matushima there.

Brilliant support play from Japan. They’re playing terrific rugby.

Japan are getting around that dog leg on the wings with ease.

I think I'll give up on rugby if that's a yellow card. Gray is already committed to tackling a full height man who halves his height to drop down and give the offload...

Head clash, but also the arm comes in high.

Common sense prevails. Japan are still streets ahead of us though.

We’re letting them have all the ball and territory. Our kicking game ain’t great here.
Edit. Yep: 25% possession and nearly 100 tackles.

Competing for the ball in the air is one thing but so often we compete for kick chases by putting the hands out towards the ball... it's only going to go in one f*cking direction. Forwards .

Haven't built any pressure whatsoever cause we keep giving them the ball.

Seems like you're trying to nullify counterattack by kicking out or short, rather than into space.

75/25 possession and 73/27 territory. Is this part of the grand plan perhaps?

Provisional numbers have Thomson missing 4 out of 9 tackles. Nowhere near good enough.
