Rugby World Cup 2019 |OT| Japan 20th September – 2nd November

Agreed. I'd love to see the Lions go there before the South Africa tour.
Can't see any way back into this for Scotland. They need to be 7 ahead of Japan and stop them scoring another try. So basically 3 more tries without Japan scoring one.
Why the hell did they get rid of Vern Cotter anyway? I remember them showing a lot of improvement under Vern and then they just got rid of him. Mind boggling decision.
Because they were worried that Toonie would disappear and never come back. In retrospect, it wasn't a great decision. Vern got us to 5th in the world. We're not that anymore, although Japan are clearly better than 8th in the world!
I remember that too. The crazy thing is the signs have been here for a while with some terrible six nation performances. At this point I'd say Scotland may as well be tier 2 and Japan should be tier 1.
It all just makes the prospects of the six nations all the more depressing when you look at Italy and Scotland. Oh well, at least Italy had a decent World Cup before their last game was called off.
This is ridiculous play from Japan. These guys versus South Africa next weekend should make for an exhilarating game.
This game has been unreal... I never would have thought Scotland would get back into it but they look right on top now!
Scotland still need 15 points to get through. Going to be interesting finish
Well if they manage to knock out Japan especially after the typhoon* they'll turn once neutrals into people wanting to root against them... and then the All Blacks will eat them anyway so they're kinda screwed either way

This is probably a good idea, but Scotland have almost stolen the ball from them a few times, because they're taking a bit too long to get the ball out.
Settle down fellas, no need for that.
It's the best Japan can do at the moment because Scotland are defending like men possessed.
Their defense and offense, both, have been really good these last few minutes, yeah. I can't really call Japan lax, either.
Unbelievable game, in the fanzone in Fukuoka at the moment and all the Irish are begging for Scottish tries while the Japanese can hardly watch
