@Machpants Funaki? Haha, I doubt it. Why?
Nice Murray-esque box kick on him. Lots of. Look a little bit like that great Irish centre, O'Aki

@Stargazer well summed up..!

Our scrum is sh&t.
Can you confirm that Mr. Philpott is coaching the scrum please?

@Stargazer from what I understand,Whitcombe is back in NZ having a back operation,so has quite linked up with the 20s at this stage,on saying that there’s some work to be done.

Japan can't field a new hooker. Uncontested scrums from now on. That's a pity. Just now that we have a new frontrow on the field.
Can't they find one amongst their 27 guys on the bench?

Overall found it very similar to first game. They started really poor but came into it. Once the defence clicked we played off that a lot.
Still really concerned with a few areas.
1- skills. Like first game we did not look fluid on attack, dropped heaps of ball. Against NH teams and even Aussies will need huge improvement.
2- still lack of forward impact around park. Against France, England we will need ball carriers and fetchers and just have not seen it.
3- half back. Was unimpressed with Fuinaki. Lacks game sense, a lot of passes to short runners heavy and longer passes lacked accuracy. In years we have done well we have had dominant 9s at this level like TTT 2015 and Enari 2017.
