2019 Rugby World Cup, Japan

Stinja

All Blacks looking vulnerable:  too many mistakes in the last 20 minutes, as well as looking very tired, not a single point scored - poor showing.  3/10

Ireland getting it done today.

They can't seem to hold onto the ball in the second half, terrible last 20 minutes.

Ireland won with a far from convincing performance and again wilted badly in the second half. 5 tries but should have been more only for knock ons. Ball was like soap by the looks of it.
Massive improvement needed or quarter finals is as far as they'll get.

Got to agree with Ireland relatively poor performance. Not an easy watch for Joe Schmidt. Some work needed.

Fair enough, I didn’t see any rugby, just the scores.

Lucky you

Its likely the humidity is taking its toll on the players and the ball. The number of errors and knock-ons from a lot of teams is high. I've been to Japan around this time of year and it can be very sticky and hot, so could well be energy sapping for some players !

Can Scotland do Ireland a favour and beat Japan? We need to take care of Samoa first with a BP win.
