Vaders Jester POC just won you an avatar.

Wouldn't have picked paulie but there's a certain something about him and Cudmore both being carded in the same game

:toot: Didn't think it'd be POC but Healy wasn't on the pitch so I suppose he had to step up.

Cudmore needs to up his game and get himself red carded, none of this half measure nonsense. ;)

edit: Though I think the :toxx: was if Scotland got carded first.

Still think they should do a Plate and Bowl competition, would love to see the likes of Georgia, Tonga and Canada playing each other.
Play the games before the Cup Semis and Final.

Probably Namibia or Uruguay but Georgia are a good side to cheer on.

edit: The Japanese anthem is pretty epic, sounds like a film score.

The Japanese just aren't able to drag them down quickly enough. Every time they seem to get one or two more steps in before they hit the floor.

Someone said Ireland were the 2nd or 3rd best team in the world at the moment and I laughed.
Considering how poo poo the bokke have been I think they might have a point.

Ireland were ranked 2nd in the world a couple of months ago, before they slipped back down due to a loss in the warm-up games.

The Springboks this year have had a fairly awful season.

A fair few of them are coming in cold this game, and they're carrying some senior citizens like Matfield, who has basically done gently caress-all this game outside of lineouts.

Japan have been throwing themselves at the floor and wrapping their whole bodies round the ankles to bring them down. I hope their physio team has a lot of icepacks.

They're up against Scotland on Wednesday. If they can cope with the short turnaround it should be interesting.....

Japan's achilles heel was always the drop off from the 65th minute. If they've improved their cardio in the build up, they're going to be really dangerous.
