I was doing DIY chores and missed it !  :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
Did the Springboks put out their under-14s side or something ?

Springboks put out their most experienced side ever!

Some wag was quick on Wikipedia tonight:
"The Japan national rugby union team (often known as the Cherry Blossoms or more recently the Murderers of Springboks)"

They were AWESOME!  :o  :o  :o   :o.   I watched England on Friday night and wondered what had happened to the modern game. I was bored rigid, and started channel hopping and playing on my iPad.  I put the TV on this pm after a trip to the shops, and was hooked,. It was electrifying. They were liike a pack of hounds harrying a bear, fast, relentless, fearless.  An amazing performance which should not be downplayed by arguments about the Springboks being past it. The Japanese absorbed their best shots and kept coming back for more. The most impressive Springbok on display was Francois Pienaar, who was a model of what we hope Rugby
turns out, a true gentleman. Maybe this tournament will be worth watching after all. :-\

Followed up by a dull slugfest between Les Bleus and The Azuri..... The Northern Hemispheres game is well behind in skill and panache.  I-)

Agreed, an absolutely cracking game. Well done to Japan for tenacity, guts, flair and attacking play. Next game against Scotland on Wednesday which could be interesting...

Banzai, Banzai .... blah, blah ....

No worries. On Thursday we'll be saying, "They came on in the same old way and we defeated them in the same old way."*

Japan game was amazing - just saw some highlights on TV.

I hope the AB's don't have an extra seat on the plane* when they come home, else they might end up being denied entry back into NZ  ;)

* when Team NZ won the America's Cup in 1995 the cup was so big that they booked a separate seat for it on the Air NZ flight back from LA.

The Webb Ellis trophy is very small in comparison - I'm sure Ritchie McCaw can hold it comfortably in one hand during the flight home - says Pierre with fingers crossed  :)

Though much is taken, much abides; and though
we are not now that strength which in old days
moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are.

Best game i've seen in a very long time.  Well deserved win to the Japanese.
