Circle the wagons or this could be a ton up for England

Weathered the early onslaught and now too big, too strong, too quick, too skilled

Femi over in the corner untouched

Eddie getting all his own shit rubbed in his nose

Japan 3 - 21 England
30 mins

Japan have some nice shapes and skills with good moves but they're looking to score off every possession

Fantastic vision from Smith to cross kick to Slade for England's 4th try

Japan 3 - 26 England
Halftime

England four tries up at half time and looking very impressive.

Is rugbypass.tv working for anyone?

Yep.

Is there a new Mario Bros. movie on the cards?

Flatman in pole position.

Really surprised to see Marcus Smith being an absolute world beater against powerhouse Japan.

Too easy for Mitchell
Whole team bought his dummy

Japan 3 - 33 England
44 mins

England far, far, far too good for Japan.

Earl in off a deft pass from Mitchell

Japan 3 - 38 England
50 mins

Dumb from Smith
Early tackle
YC

Oh fuck off, that's a PT

Knock on from Japan off catch and drive 5m out

Poor

No sound on, was there actually a decent reason why an early tackle 5m out that results in a YC isn't a PT?

Relentless pick and go from England

Accurate and impressive

Hilarious

2 quick tries from Japan as the man advantage tells

England lost a lot of shape with the substitutions

Japan 17 - 45 England

Dumb from Ewels

Dangerous no arms clean out

YC

sumo singer limbering up..

That's straight red. Ewells is an a grade c u n t

In from the side, targeting the knee

That was D grade women's decision making from Japan

Which results in an England try from Underhill and the half century for England

Japan 17 - 52 England
75 mins

YC upgraded to RC

And that's it

Japan backed the wrong horse in Eddie

@MiketheSnow said in Japan v England:

And that's it

Japan were going to get belted regardless of their coach...

Apparently that's Eddie Jones' 13 straight tier-1 loss. You love to see it.

True

But tactically they were poor

That’s coaching (or lack there of)

Eddie did as with Oz, playing utter noobs. Fullback had never played Pro rugby before

@MiketheSnow said in Japan v England:

has he just run out of ideas?

From an NZ perspective

England 10-12-13 channel is porous

Keep Earl quiet and England lose 9 times out of 10

Big drop off in quality and accuracy when England bring on the bench

Will Charlie Ewels be available for the NZ games?

@MiketheSnow said in Japan v England:

England's first XV will be a handful, but yeah the ABs will have a much better bench.

What did Swain get? This was worse imo

@MiketheSnow said in Japan v England:

And that's it

<Anyone engaging Eddie> backed the wrong horse in Eddie

FIFY

England looked well drilled. Japan looked like they'd been coached by "Smash N Grab", apart from their scrum which was very good.

If Dan Cole is their best tighthead, they're in for a torrid time at the scrum.

Also Mounga from Wish is a pea hearted defender.
