Trump may be honest, he is of the belief if you say things enough times it becomes true. Think of his Fake news agenda from the start, we all now believe that a lot of the news is fake. I think he has planned to dumb down politics because he knows most of the voters understand that

When was politics not dumbed down?
Politics by definition is all about convincing enough dumb people to vote, it was how Obama won.

Good old honest Obama "women get paid 77 cents on the dollar for doing the same work as men" never told a lie in his life to get votes.

SA haven't shown much on attack, but they never do really. This has been a pretty dominant performance playing to their strengths. Just haven't let Japan play and their defense has been brutal. Has pretty much gone as expected in the end.

@Kirwan Nah, they didn't get many off loads away compared with usual. More than this half though.

The ferocity of the tackling has taken a toll on Japan's attack

Credit to Boks defense, it has been excellent, dominant and scrambled well.

Yup, the plan to batter them into submission is working. So many massive hits.

8 point lead. Going to be tough for Japan

Interesting to see how SA play this in the 2nd 40. Bok backs have been very poor, can see them keeping it close and trying to grind them out.

That would prevent a blowout though, and a lucky break or two for Japan and she could be all on.

Dealende not held there. Barnes "decisiveness" working for Japan on this occasion

There were Japanese hands on his back when he was on his knees. Correct call.

Correct call, stupid play, they were odds on to score

Really important moment in the game

Japan doing well to stay on their feet in the maul and not give away kickable penalties which SA are going for.
