Come on Japan! (Rugby World Cup)

I feel they are coming in to this game with everyone feeling it is a done deal. The Aussies are going to walk it. Thats not my experience of the Japanese spirit, so I think we could have a good game ahead.

Commiserations to Italy whilst I'm on the subject of rugby, that was a good game, but ultimately a pasting!

91-3, I think you were a little bit out with your prediction.

Just back in, I ed off down the gym when the Aussies went over the half century.

C'mon Japan.... tut tut tut!
you poms really are a sad bunch!
I work for a Jap company & have a few good mates from there but they were all saying before the game...
"I'll be vely happy if they just try & pray rather than pray & try"

Oh come now, sir!

Look at the number of major rugby nations in with a shot of winning the RWC. Compare that with the oikball World Cup. Rugby needs as many of the smaller nations to do well as possible for the good of the game overall. If you're reading more into the OP's thread than seems to be there, I can only assume you have a level of insecurity rather beyond that of your typical compatriot!
