Great to see and I would love to see NZ help Japan more so they can rise up in the ranking.,

I would love to see them topple one of the top 6 or 7 teams at some stage in the not too distant future, probably not going to happen but hey they gave the french a hell of a fright and if they could have scored at the critical moment the french would have capitualted as they so often do when they get rattled.

Yeah, good luck with that. It won't change anything. Japan will still get a good stomping on! The only way they could win that match was if the All Blacks didn't show up although, there would still be a chance Japan would beat themselves.

Why is McCaw wearing an eye-patch? I know eye gouging sadly happens sometimes in Rugby - but surely he isn't expecting it from the Brave Blossoms?!

Might be a file photo from some time ago. Richie is often on the receiving end of treatment by ****ers like that coward Quade Cooper, he was probably just keeping a cut covered over to prevent extra damage and help it heal fast.

Looks like it was just something they do at training actually, so definitely a file photo.

There is only one thing I want the Kiwis to share and that is the Haka ...well of course NOT the Haka,only the All-Blacks should ever do the haka.

no..

I want the Japanese to do the Algorithm Taiso!

the spectators and All Blacks and officials would be laughing so hard the Japanese could then score 60 tries and go viral on Youtube and become the World favourites.

I live in hope.一歩進んで。。

when the Japanese held their own against the much higher-ranked France

Wow, Japan won another moral victory. That and JPY 450 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

@herefornow, are you capable of saying anything positive ? Every single post you leave is negative or sarcastic. Or are you just dipressing person in real life ?
