Rugby World Cup 2015

The first surprise was Tonga being beat by Georgia. Ireland pissed past Canada who normally have loads of enthusiasm and aggression.

Currently the bok are making it hard work against Japan, showing that the opening fixture against what ever opposition can be tough.

Tonight will be interesting to see what the French do against an Italian side without their talisman Parrise.

ha!! enjoy it while you can - it may not last - Japan 13 12 South Africa!!

[KeyserSoze]

Japan have been absolutely incredible so far. 14 man maul!

If their fitness holds up (that's a large if) then this second half could be very interesting. South Africa looking poor but their forwards are hard to handle

[jaffka]

Feck me, last 10 and Japan are level.

Would never have imagined this.

[Il Pirate]

Ja fu ckin paaaaan!!!! WoW!!!

[jaffka]

Fecking hell, the biggest rugby upset ever? Japan have just fecking done it.

Never saw that coming.

[Prufrock]

Get in Japan!

[Worthy4England]

wow

[Beefheart]

Magnificent Japanese Bastards!

The levels of Schadenfreude experienced from watching South Africans lose at things is only marginally less than those from watching Australians lose at things.

[TANGODANCER]

Remind me of that again, Japan beat the Springboks at rugby????

[Worthy4England]

I've just txt my jock mate to point out that 4th in the Pool B "Group of Death" wouldn't be so bad....

[TANGODANCER]

Watched France and Italy last night. Not very clear cut, a game of penalties mainly. Having a look at Samoa and the good old U.S of A right now. Very er, enthusiastic....

Edit, Italy....

[jaffka]

It was a good match last night, the French look physically strong. It's going to be a good match when they play Ireland.

Half two I want to see lots of Uruguayan thuggery and aggression.

[TANGODANCER]

Samoa v USA. With no preferences whatsoever I was able to enjoy that. Far better than I thought it might be.

Impressive demolition job by the Welsh. Cedit to Uruguay for keeping fighting, but they were steam-rollered by a highly efficient machine.

More injuries though.

good!

I reckon NZ would have put 80pts past that Uruguay side... but it can sometimes be disruptive to play against poor sides - Wales did look less clinical than they might need to be in other games...

[TANGODANCER]

Thirty gone, and NZ have a man in the sin bin and are 10-9 behind....

Cracking game this one! Interesting to see how NZ react.

[TANGODANCER]

Expected an All Black win, but the score was respectable and the Argies defended very well most of the time. Even to my inexperienced eye, some of their ( Argies) forward play looked a bit nieve and hopeful at times. Good scrap though with plenty effort and commitmant.

[KeyserSoze]

Discipline is costing the Japanese at the moment. Set up for a cracking second half though

Great tackle by Goromaru at the end
