Scotty Too Hotty vs The Kamikaze Cowboys (Scotland vs Japan for the prim and propers) Live Chatter

Almost time.

Haha Pakie

The fact Japan are going ahead with this game is so awesome. 

A lesson in resilience.

Well done Japan.

Much respect.

Gonna charge my phone for the first 20, then I'll assist with commentary ;)  

Indeed, commentators say the stadium is surrounded by flood water. Good for the tournament that the game is on though.

Go Scots. Penalty Scots. 

First penalty to Scotland after Japan doing all the attacking . They look pumped.

Scotty kick charged, Japan break out into the Scots 22.

Another penalty Scot and they're back in to Jap territory.

Scotty looking sharp out back, first a change of direction and then a kick across behind the defense that nearly came off.

Russell through some flimsy Jap tackles and Scotland on the board.

Slack Jap defence and Scots score. 

Score Scots lead 7-0

Scotland turns it over after a strong period of Jap attack. Commentators rightly note that the fetcher started out off his feet, hard call against Japan.

The Blossoms have a buzy bee style. The swarm. Looking more dangerous. 

Jap 11 to o upright into contact and held up, drops the ball.

Scotty now pinged on the ground, somewhat kickable penalty Japan.

Great try Blossoms! 

Passing, running lines, support, the key to scoring tries. 

Hard to run through opposition these days. 7 all. 

Same recipe as Blossoms score under posts. 

Superb support play they just keep coming. Swarm style. 

Blossoms lead 14-7

That ball knocked back by Scots? Big call as try was on for Scots. 

Scots need to find some inspiration. Blossoms full value for their lead. 

Another scrum penalty against Scots 

Score Blossoms lead 14 -7

Blossoms clever kick, collect and score. Great skills

Blossoms lead 21-7

Japs are on fire.

Scotland not looking like they have answers.

Great offloading, quick rucks, support running...very nice from Japan.

Are they making a case for tier one status?

Question for those that pay attention to this sort of thing.

How many on the Japan team are also Sunwolves players?

I was called away, back now for the second half. Looks like I missed a lot!

Pakie

You missed Scotland making 112 tackles to Japan's 28.

You also missed only one knock from Japan in 40 minutes.

Not to mention some of the best offloading in this WC to date. 

Scotland need to smash them up front if they want to stand a chance.

Luckily, that's exactly what the Boks will do.

Well gee Plum, thanks for making me feel a whole lot better

Regardless, and despite my Scottish heritage, very happy for the Blossoms.

Bonus point try!

And a bonus point try.

Fokuoka clean through! Man are we happ y yet that this game got the go ahead?

Ripped in the tackle, gathered by pure skill and then off to dot down under the posts.

Brilliant.

Japan swarming all over the Scots.

See how well a team can play when you allow the Jakuza to threaten their families.

Scotland appealing for an elbow on the the tackler.

Not surprising as it looks like desperate times.

Nothing in that one.

Blitzkrieg Rugby.

Scotland showing some fight. Seem like ages since they had the ball.

Japan steal it off then.

Leach putting in a skipper's shift of note.

Leach making big hits again.

Scotland on the edge of the 22.

Scotland 5m out.

Nel drives it over.

WP Nel .... jou doring.
