Yeah fair play. Missed the opening 25 but they’ve been brilliant.

Yes. For letting the game go ahead.

Scotland back in this.

But it’s not just the passer is it. It was a timing thing. The over eagerness was largely due to the receiver getting there too early.

Currently 28 - 21

Scotland need to win by more than 7 points

No offence to our Scottish cousins but it would be great for the tournament if Japan make it.

Score still the same.

Only 4 1/2 mins left.

Brilliant

Well done Japan. Chuffed to bits for those supporters in this difficult weekend.

FT: Japan 28 - 21 Scotland.

Fabulous

Excellent game for the neutral, disappointing that the Scots are going home and not the Irish, well not totally neutral 😂!!!!

Japan have played some great rugby in all games

What a game for any neutrals. Japan looked to be overpowering Scotland but then the Scots came right back at them. Deserved victory in the end for Japan and Scotland get sent home to think again.

I know gatland is a massive wainwright fan but think moriaty has forced his way back in with tips and navidi.

Aussies getting their collars felt.

every unforced error is being punished

This has been such a low quality game. Credit England for taking the early chances - and weathering this comeback tho

Clinical performance by England. Australia trying to force it and made lots of errors.

Aussies played rugby in the wrong areas and straight into England's hands.The All Blacks will be a totally different proposition.

Japan is in the northern hemisphere and much closer to the 6 Nations countries than to South Africa or Argentina.

Maybe the 8 Nations is on the way (with Japan and Georgia joining).
