Firstly I must object to cultural appropriation of the British using the Lions as their symbol!
The Lion belongs to Africa!!!! They are welcome to call themselves the pussy cats by all means.
Meanwhile Duhan has scored the lions second try!
Second Lions leaves the field after captain Jones was the first to cry off.
It's 21 nil to wee lions.
Japan must spread the ball. Their backs look good.
The amount of strapping on the wee lions players is concerning.
Resolute Jap defence earns releasing penalty.
J aps earn kickable penalty after pressing hard. Go for Touch five meters out.
Wee lions give away second penalty.
Japs attacking again.
Half time.
Haven't seen much to rave about in respect of wee lions backs yet.
Their pack has had the upper hand at close quarters.
Japs score.
After 20 minutes in second half the wee lions have one try and now the Japs have 1.
It's 28-7 lions leading.
Japs miss penalty.
Interesting 16 minutes left.
Japan get another kickable penalty.
Lions pinned in their half.
28 10 lions leading.
"Jap" backs showing superb handling passing skills.
Back line look better than lions.
Japs just miss try.
Its all Japan this half.
Ou rooitwit will be drowning his sorrows about Alun Jones.
Japs come very close to scoring.
Japan knock on near line of lions. Unforced error.
Beautiful bræk by Jap backs. Lions defence holds.
Lions finally get penalty and will get out of their half.
Last movement of match.
Penalty to Japs.
Match over.
Lions were badly outplayed in second half. Japs scored 10 to 7 but were extremely lucky not to have more points against them.
I didn't see anything to be concerned about.
Wish our backs had the skills of this Jap backline!
If the Japs found some mobile powerhouses like Eben they would be a real force in world rugby.
Perhaps we should have sent Dud Allende to Japan to learn how to pass. What happened to Lose Jones?
Alun Wyn Jones has dislocated his shoulder and will play no part in the tour.
Sorry to hear that, he must be gutted.
He must be. He was only on the pitch for 7 minutes.
Tipuric is also out with a shoulder injury.
Adam Beard and Josh Navidi are added to the Squad.
Conor Murray takes over as tour Captain.
Damian has exceedingly poor skills on attack and defence and can't follow play. He'd never make it in Japan.
Organhuffer as you are completely at sea concerning Rassie, the Boks, Du Toit and Allende you might want to give Beeno's Trumpet a shot and talk about something you have a clue about.
Thanks
