England v Japan
-
Yeah, I'd back Cokanasiga to shine in this game but that comes with the caveat that Japan are not a Tier 1 nation. He's the type of guy that can really carve up against lesser opposition and I'd like to see him given the chance against the big boys. Like @Margin_Walker I think the guy has what it takes and really offers a different skill set to what we have currently.

Yep, obviously a huge caveat with this game. Will be watching with interest all the same

Sevearl thoughts
Michael Leitch is just awesome
Tanaka's pass is still pretty crisp
From the other match - See Tonga had an "Owen Farrell" tackle moment , which Nic Berry awarded a penalty to Wales
Don't know what England are smoking they seem devoid of any sort of plan
Eddie Jones lloks like a pratt of the highest order with those temple comments
Japan coached by New Zealander and England coached by half Japanese Aussie - Go figure the world has gone mad! -
One trusts you are aware Eddie's mother is Japanese, as is his wife, and that he has spent a good many years living there and coaching at club and national level. I would think that Eddie, a cautious man, is a fairly good judge of what can and cannot be said in these circumstances in comparison to you and me.

Well aware of Eddie's Japanese links and I suspect there was more than a tongue in check element about his trash talk. He gave those remarks in response to a jouurnalist who asked him about Michael Leith's comment about Japan wanting revenge on Eddie for all the slogging he gave them. 😉
England have brought on Underhill who I think will make a difference.

Yep England turning this into a bore-fest now, penalties starting to go their way, kicking to corners ho-hum
