Looks like teh 'boks need some more black players. I'm not racist but, the whites are inferiour and obviously bad at the rugby.

If Japan can play every game at this pace they're going to kill someone.

So it turns out this team was the Springboks. The first team anyway.

Though they can get rolled the rest of the matches and still go home happy.

gently caress that was brilliant.

But as usual, the 2nd and 3rd tier nations get hosed by the scheduling. How are Japan meant to recover by Wednesday?

It had tries, big fat men, fancy footwork, moon-faced giants, neat passes, terrible haircuts, successful desperation tackles...

It was a good game of the eggball.

As a Boks fan I will say good game to Japan. They played a great game that perfectly disrupted the Boks gameplan and the Boks didn't adapt/change which was really stupid on their behalf. Japan played smart with quick line outs and scrums and tackling low and the Boks just kept to their game plan which throughout which became their undoing. I thought the ref was a bit of a moron but that was only a small part and Japan fully earned the victory.
Hopefully this will be a wakeup call to the Boks to actually start playing rugby instead of underestimating their opponents. They might be in an easier group but that does not mean that they can just take it easy.

What a match, on Japan! Just read the op rugby wasn't invented by a boy who got tired of kicking the ball it was invented by a fat gently caress who wanted to have a game he could keep up in.

New Zealand play tomorrow and Thursday. Japan get two rests of 8-10 days in the later stages, I think the only team with a stable pattern is England playing every weekend.

Uhhh... The next game in an hour has the potential to be almost as insane, with the added bonus that both teams kind of hate each others' guts.

After the Tier 2 and 3 sides got hosed by scheduling 4 years ago, the Tier 1 sides volunteered to take on the same scheduling to make the playing field a little more level.
