South Africa have 1 problem. We don't have possession of the ball. If keep the ball in hand and mix it up a bit we win this game easy.

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.

Yep! I think the Japs will burnout in the 2nd half, and the Boks will win, but gee! we were expecting more...... The sending of Beast started the spiral...... 2nd half redemption....... WitBlitz all round! :giggle:

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 was mostly Naas setting that narrative. He even said Japan hasn't played against a real team, yet... Ireland was a favourite.

Barnes can take off his Ref shirt and show the Japanese jersey he is wearing.
This is getting ridiculous now. Every kick almost the Japanese player is taking out the Bok.

Then again... less than a week ago people were still bitching about too many yellow cards.

Lol what? That was like the first bad call he's made regarding contesting in the air. The rest have all been fine
