Very interesting how Japan often have wingers doing carries up the middle and Leitch hugging the touchline.

The rules should take into account the height of the ball carrier in relation to his height during the tackle. If a bloke drops to one knee as the tackler hits him it’s impossible for the tackler to readjust....his momentum won’t let him
I can't fathom why we are kicking at every possession? It's handing the initiative straight back to Japan at almost every occasion to attack us.
They are great to watch.
Game over
Well done Japan

It's all Japan. Total domination at the moment.
Oh my god!
that bounce was just gold.....when it’s going for you

Hard to see any way back. Japan look the fittest team in the competition.
Scotland should have taken the 0-0.
Should have accepted the draw 48 hours ago 
I agree I think they have changed the rules slightly too much the wrong way.
I agree too. Maybe tweak the law a bit.
I'm starting to worry that playing Japan in the QF may actually be more difficult than playing Ireland.
Japan are excellent. So fun to watch.
Scotland beginning to regret not taking the 0-0

Depends on whether you believe Ireland have been keeping a lot in reserve for a potential QF. That's a longshot though.
Japan handling and carries are very good but I think the pace is what's doing for Scotland.
After the first 10 they just haven't been able to cope. Not helped by their own lack of control in the kicking game.
Only one winner now, will be comfortable imo.

Their fitness levels are insane
Keep hearing this and seems like such wishful thinking!
Ya, also I think we're significantly better than Scotland, so I think in a close game Japan may lack the ability to deal with the pressure.
The pressure is just too much. They are more likely to concede [multiple] tries than score another one.
Japan have been exceptional
Oh yeah, it almost certainly is. Joe Schmidt would be the world's greatest poker player if it's actually true.
Japan will give a better challenge to New Zealand
Hats off to Japan. They’ve been sensational and fully merit this lead.
The greatest rope-a-dope since Ali-Forman
Consolation at best or a repeat of Twickenham
If they get the next try and convert it you never know.Consolation at best or a repeat of Twickenham
Well, well, well.....
Japan are struggling now.
Game on
A broken game suits Finn Russell perfectly.
