England v Japan

England looked clueless in the first half.
Of all the teams to play without an out & out openside, Japan is not that team.
Shit coaching.
Can someone please explain how Nowell didn't get a yellow for that tackle at the end of the match?
And Farrell not penalised for tackling the man in the air?

England score another try. Cockansiga. 30-15. Eight to play.
There is no need to say that about them for scoring a try!!! Outrageous!

The previous two games have shown that we can play a lot better given a bit of pace in the back row, so the selection was a bit of a head scratcher. A problem that is taxing Eddie I think is a third line out option. Maybe that is why Curry seems to be preferred to Underhill? But yeah, you need a 7 against the Japs alright.

Was funny listening to them trying to pronounce South Sea islander names, much the same in the Tonga match. I was wondering why I hadn't seen the name Rockonasinga in the squad.

Eddie now says his "Go to the temple and pray" remarks were designed to fire up Japan so they'd be at their best.

Watching the highlights on BBC2 and you'd swear England had beaten a Top 5 side.
Circle jerk over Farrell with the last tackle. Definitely hit the guy in the air and should have been a penalty to Japan a la Lions v NZ.
Let's hope England play the same way next week against Australia.
They have thd backs to score the tries Japan couldn't.
