HT 7-19

Ben Carter off after 27s with a head or neck injury - worrying. 

Scrums a bit odd, with Smith on top on one side and Assiratti suffering on the other. 

First try - Faletau loops around the back of a lineout and gives Thomas a scoring pass.
Second try - against a man short in their back line, slick handling to Rogers and he takes the outside - good try.

Japan try - Thomas up too late, Williams too far back. Good hands by Japan. 

Pen try - kick ahead slapped over dead ball line by Japan as Adams looks to score. Josh made the poiint vigorously to the ref, and it was awarded after a TMO check.

TMO also checked a Japan 'try' which ref disallowed for 'held up' by Thomas.. maybe we got a bit lucky there.

Totally agree. Asseratyi, teddy w hardy and Thomas been poor. Mann having a good game as is faletau. Dont understand using Thomas as crash ball when Jonny is there.

Enjoying the game so far ...although bit scrappy 
In 1972, Roy Bergiers scored that try and said "that was for you lofty"

Not a bad game. Lots of running rugby but weather is causing havoc with handling

Better news about Carter - stretchered off, but back on his feet, it seems.

Some poor work by ref team - an b=obvious knock on but ref initially gave a try. TMO corrected it.

Earlier, a Japan player knocked the ball back into play from 1.5m off the pitch and they were allowed to play on unti it was corrected.

2 teams short on confidence. Playing the game at a silly time not helping but conditions seem to be affecting Japanese game more. Interesting to see what our bench does.

So easy. Japan think they can smash through on first phase. Odd.

Ritchie Rees who at best was an ordinary player is a bit of a jerk in commentary
