Rugby World Cup 2011 Preview- Japan

So last week Japan thumped Russia 75-3 with 3 of the tries coming from deadly winger, Alisi Tupuailai. Has this influenced enough that they can do well in the world cup? This video comes out with some opinions

Thats the Japanese Rugby Team!? They're a lot better than the last time i saw em in action.

planning to go to their game against france if I can. I'm a kiwi, but I've decided Japan are my second team this time around :) . Japan have an excellent schoolboy league and a decent national pro league, so it's really just a matter of time before they start to cause major upsets.

you really should have done your research before making the vid.

@OASparkes : Wrong. Perhaps 6 or 7 Canadian players ply their trade in Europe, but for the most part, the older players on this Canadian squad actually do have other careers, Fairhurst is a financial advisor, one's a firefighter, etc. So maybe it's 'you' that should open a book! It's all good.

@arilovegillesforever If we got to the final and it was agaisnt Japan and Kirwan threw off his coaches Jacket, ran on to the field and caught a Dan Carter kick 5m from his own try line, and ran right through the whole AB side to score Japans winning try.... i think i could live with it. Their team has about 6 more kiwis in it anyway so between thema nd the kiwi coach, if they win we still kind of 1/3 win too.

the japanese scrum half was pretty amazing against france for all the size of him, some really dynamic plays, really enjoyed watching them against france. wouldn't like to count them out if they played ireland on a bad day, tbh i think the performed better against france than ireland did in the warm up matches

[arilovegillesforever]

As a kiwi, I'd be over the moon if Japan came second to us in our pool. I quite like the idea of these less-established teams making their mark in the competition. Heck, if it came down to it, I'd rather lose to the Japanese than the French...especially with Kirwan at the helm. Fingers crossed they make their 3 wins

The more I listen to this, the more I think that free Amphetamines are being handed out to people that have seen rugby once and would like to be heard on the internet.
