Howzit Timothy San,
Gooooooooooo Japan!
Yip. This is a very funny build up to a match. Very different then we are used to.
Haka… Kamate
Haka done. So I thin kit will be kick off next.
All Blacks too kick off.
Game ON!
All Blacks Kick-off
Knock on by the All Blacks from the kick off. Japan scrum on own 10 meter.
That was a very solid scrum from Japan. I am quite impressed.
Tighthead by the Japanese… wow!
The Japanese are playing pretty good rugby. If they can keep this up for 80 minutes it could be a fun game too watch. JAPAN penalty inside own 22. Going for touch.
Solid set pieces by Japan, so far.
Japan penalty… defensive one.
2nd Japan penalty, quick tap… ends in a penalty for the All Blacks
Carter going for touch. AB lineout on Japan 22.
Must be the shortest set of locks in international rugby for Japan… both 1.9m or thereabouts
All Blacks attacking scrum, middle of the pitch, 10m out
Still hard too see what the All Black plan is.
Nice bigggggg in goal areas
@ grootblousmile:
@ Timothy Bornman:
Yoh julle twee voorvelle!
Darem n droewige volksliedjie daai van die Japanners….maar hulle wil duidelik met meer spoed speel as wat hulle sing!
Hulle hanteer soos blits.
First try for the All Blacks.
22 Drop out… kicked deep.
Try Charles Piutau, All Blacks
23 @ Pietman:
Hello Pietman San!
All Blacks 7 / 0 Japan
All Blacks lead 7-0 after 11 min.
Japan kickable penalty… shot at goal
@Pietman: More man. Ja, die hele inleiding was bietjie traag en baie weird.
