Did we underestimate this Japanese team?

The studio made it sound like it was a mere formality, with predictions of a win by 20 points or more...

:X3:
It happens a lot. So called experts predicting easy victories and then we get our asses kicked. 70% of the game is in the head. Both Springbok heads (rattled) and Jap heads (super passionate)

Uphill from here. The mind game is all in Japans favour. We need to change game plan or else it's game over.

Well, there are still 40 minutes to go so it could still happen. And when you consider we've had a few gilt edged chances to extend that lead which we've butchered, that scoreline predictor doesn't sound so far fetched. And in all honesty, Japan have had truck loads of ball but have done nothing with it. Joel Strandsky pointed out that at one point they were averaging about 2m per carry. Woop di freaking doo.

It is pathetic at this point. What should Barns do. Ignore when we knock on?

He should have shouted at de Allende to place the ball when his knee touched the ground. The tackler released, he continued. It is pressure. Though he is immense in tackling, he is rather schit at carrying and passing the ball.

This law is schoolboy rugby stuff, to be honest.
