Now England must beware, Japan is coming their way. Japan has two players in their team which Jones dismissed as not being good enough to play at the top even though Yamasawa was consistently Panasonic’s best. Joseph also didn't give him much time until now.

Saw that Panasonic Wild Knights got smashed by the Reds the other day, don't know who played. Japanese clubs don't like their players getting hurt in exhibitions.
 
A bit OT, but here is Jones talking about Yamasawa back when he coached Japan,


up to today he only has 3 Japan caps. First start was against New Zealand. Foreshadowing Jones made there. Michalak turned the tide many times against England.
 
Time to start looking for a #10 understudy for Pollard.

Jantjies is done, women and drugs.

Williams is all hot air and no action. So much hype over Williams but only on a few occasions did he impress at fullback.

Manie Libbok has look good so far for the Stormers this year but he still needs to prove himself at top level and to be honest I do not believe he'll be the answer.

So not much left to pick from. Smith from the Bulls, Chamberlaim and Bosch from the Sharks, Hendriks from the Lions.

That brings us back to praying that Pollard makes a speedy recovery.

Yeah we just need a solid kicker that is how world cups are won.
 
In the old days a Naas was enough, not anymore.

Agreed but when the margins are so fine you need to take all the points you can get. Pollard was really good in the previous world cup as was percy in 07. In next years WC we need a back up for Pollard. Found it strange that Willimese was replaced so quickly with the kicking duty yesterday
