Japan were amazing, had the Frenchy's hanging on for dear life in most parts of the 2nd half. Walsh is a terrible referee, he killed off Japan's chances. The 1st try should not have been allowed, Francois Trinh Duc was tackled and the Japanese 4wards rucked over, he is not allowed to get up, how on earth did Walsh miss that? I was watching this game in a sports bar and everyone were amazed Walsh allowed that try.
Japan did an 'Awesome' job!!! The French definitely underestimated this team. It's been a while since i've seen a team play with soooo much determination and so i solute you for that Japan :) A game against France is no walk in the park but you held your own very well.
The final score does not reflect how close this game was, Japan could've won. A few dodgy calls by Walsh (ref) which kinda helped France when the score was 21-25. 1st French try should not have been allowed and the Pape try near the end also looked l forward from Medard.
Japanese rugby = ALL HEART.....the toughest never say die ruggers I've ever seen in test rugby
That first try didn't count cos he was offside , but otherwise great. I'm the guy in the grey top and cat in the hat hat standing up in the top right hand corner at 2:34 :D - such an awesome game, Japan got so close!
@vijil Watched it twice....I'm not sure he was offside. I probs would've called play on, but w/e.
GO THE MINNOWS!!!!!!! Great to see such competitive rugby in the early games. Professionalism has improved the standard of tier two test rugby dramatically...it's gonna be a fantastic cup.
Got a little offended with the whole Mexican wave...oh well its just a wave..

@tuikalavo Stop trying to pretend all of France's tries shouldn't have counted. Two had been refused already during the game.

The game was so good, a lot of butter finger action from both teams but they made up for it later on in the game. I loved the fighting spirit!
