No Plan B for Ireland.
Schmidt shown up. Again.

The tackling accuracy and intensity was off the charts.
Amazing atmosphere

@MiketheSnow nah bro, the grand NZ plan coming to its evil conclusion. You wait till Wales roll over as Gatland follows suit
-
I’m just flabbergasted that Ireland literally have no plan B. That was a tactical master class from Joseph.

It's a childish, unfair thing to say but it's a pity Sexton wasn't playing.
Would have loved to seen his face at the final whistle

@Billy-Tell He's got to be in the conversation for an All Black coaching role.

Let's not copy England and Eddie Jones...

@Victor-Meldrew I'd say similar to Murrays...
That was a mammoth defensive effort by Japan, simply outstanding, thought Ireland would open them up in the final quarter, but Japan just kept getting up and knocking them back!
-
Best doing a good job in the post match interview. Took nothing away from that Japanese effort.

Nagare, the Japanese Half Back, was outstanding.
And they have Tanaka - who's seriously classy - coming on to replace him
-
@Tim Well it could be a smart pay funnily enough as a bonus point could be important in the final standings.
Well done Japan, Ireland couldn't keep up with the speed and intensity that Japan bought and struggled with the heat.

Leitch was huge today.
Mafi’s ball running in the first half was huge, but when Leitch came on the intensity went up a gear especially defensively. The team really followed his lead.
Really impressed with the Japanese tight 5 reserves. Those front row reserves really landed their hits.
Massive game coming Japan and Scotland.
