This is a wonderful watch

End to end

BOK just there to restart the match

Easy peasy. Japan doing the hokey cokey. In and out of the game.

MiketheSnow

That long, inaccurate miss pass to the winger is killing Japan

MiketheSnow

Butchered that

Take the scrum

MiketheSnow

Excellent

Some game this. Brave attacking rugby from both sides.

Japan 27 Argentina 29

Japan 27 Argentina 34

This is an all-time classic in Nantes.

Hat trick for Carreras.

This game is a great watch. It's so close and still everything at stake.

Japan 27 Argentina 36.

Ten minutes to go.

Can Japan respond?

Bones

Yuck eh. Argentina kick long, Japanese fullback fields it and does a nothing kick straight away without even looking up, just turns it over to Argentina with a 30m gain without even trying.

Clutch

That’s the match for the Argies

Great game

Take a bow Argentina
Take a bow Japan
Take a bow BOK

Bones

Japan have been disappointing for me. So many crappy decisions and just switching off. Well taken win by Argentina though.

MiketheSnow

Yep

Had more than enough pill to win

sparky

One minute to go. The Pumas are going to win.

Bones

Hopefully this is the kick up the arse Argentina need to start playing to their potential.

sparky

All over. Argentina win. A QF against Wales awaits and a great opportunity to go deep into the tournament.

That was the best pool game to actually watch despite the errors etc.

Final QF spot on the line and both teams threw everything at it. Thought the pace of the game was excellent. Some excellent tries.

Argies showed a little more accuracy.

Surely on the evidence so far BOK gets the final if the ABs don't make it.

Bovidae

Not that it made any difference but watching the end of the game Leitch was definitely tackled in the air before the Japan accidental offside. I don't know how BOK and the ARs missed that.

Cracking match - this last round has had some humdingers (and England).

Yeah there were errors but in the heat with a genuine contest it was a great advertisement for the game, with little to no fucking around from the TMO.

I wish the Wallabies would play with the kind of accuracy Japan have.
