Rugby World Cup 2019



japan need to get the next score for a chance of winning this imo. they haven't had many line breaks so far and i can see the boks cutting out their handling errors.
can't fault their determination and resolve as ever and probably one of the most entertaining teams to watch this tournament.
 
SA have the greater dimensions certainly, if they're pragmatic in managing the game they should be safe. If they make it a game of physicality vs fitness though Japan are right in it

Japan need to put phases together. They're passing it wide then kicking without fail. Need 5 good minutes of possession to swing momentum.
 
Need a moment of magic here to get the Japanese out of their own half
One of those games where you’re praying for a miracle but you just can’t see it coming

I dont uunderstand why they're kicking it so much in their 22. The problem upfield for Japan has been SA's line speed but in a condensed space that's not as much of an issue.

They're a running team, they need to run with it and keep possession as much as possible
