    Don’t think so. Springboks’ experience, power up front and ball in hand will win them it.

    Hoping for a belter of a game.

    Think the French deserved that..

    Fancied Wales strongly beforehand but that French boy should never be capped again. Sold his country in a world cup quarter final..

    Inexcusable. Wales were poor, even with a man advantage..

    Atmosphere in this Japan game is gonna be something else. Looking forward to this..

    Home ground and their support give a good advantage to Japan though, everyone struggles with their pressure, it’s sure to be a cracker but just feel like Japan will make it all the way.

    Jamie Joseph saying South Africa won’t know what’s coming and they’ve got tricks up theirs sleeve. Must be those basics again...

    If Japan win this, it’ll be a victory for the common man. With their basic rugby style.

    Mon the Japs eyes!

    That is criminal the South Africans never scored the try there..

    Shocking pass. Should've kept it basic..

    Wayne Barnes is heavily favouring Japan here. Some really iffy decisions and several missed forward passes.

    We can now see very clearly the only threat to the All Blacks.

    Funnily enough I seen more flashy Rugby from Japan today but they did * all. So much for Jamie Joseph having a few tricks up his sleeve eh.

    Quite glad Japan are out, the refereeing was biased yet again.

    After the defeat Ireland took yesterday you really have to reflect on how poor the teams were in Pool A this WC.

    NZ Vs SA final.

    South Africa just blew them away in the 2nd half, stepped up the pressure & pace and Japan just couldn’t survive.
