Surely thats a red?

Carbon copy of Warburton in 2011 unless my memory is playing tricks on me. Barnes was very quick and definite there, the TMO has to step in and tell him to upgrade it.

Better from Japan, but still snuffed out...

Feckin hell Japan play at some speed.

As good as this is from japan, I actually feel like sa are looking ominous, they really are just soaking it up. Something has to give.

But have SA got the fitness to soak it up?

[Lizard]

Lucky drop for Japan.

[bruce]

A few forward passed being missed, but I'm starting to believe...

[Lizard]

Boks living offside. Finally pinged.

[Lizard]

I think Japan need to score every time they're in the 22 to have a shot here.

I'm knackered

Sensible of Mtawarira to have a wee sit down for a bit and get his breath back.

SA 17 passes.

If japan aren't scoring and all that effort counts for nowt, then the question needs ti be asked if the japs have the fitness to keep going

Is that the first time the kolbe has touched the ball?

[Lizard]

Japan lucky with these SA errors

But not with the red card.

[Donny osmond]

Was barnes right to disallow that sa try?

Interesting call by Barnes, I think if it happened up field he would have let that go.

[bruce]

Japan will be happy with that half, still very much in touch.

Barnes performance leaving a bit to be desired.

[Lizard]

The call was correct. That crabbing shit is let go far too often mid-field, too. Tackling is defined in the Laws as holding the ball carrier and bringing him to ground. You have to hold "until the ball-carrier is on the ground" (i.e. at least one knee on the ground). There is no requirement to hold them once they are on the ground.
