HIGHLIGHTS | ENGLAND V JAPAN | AUTUMN NATIONS SERIES

Short highlights between Scotland and Australia at Scottish Gas Murrayfield.

[henkyo_insiders]

Looking at the experience of the teams, England's registered members have a total of 711 caps, while Japan has only 267. Japanese rugby team are currently working hard to develop young talent. That's why we have so many players with few caps. If we divide 80 minutes into 4 quarters, Japan has the power to fight against tier 1 teams for 20 minutes. However, the remaining 60 minutes are completely powerless against the opposing team. In the remaining 3 years, we will have to acquire the fitness and discipline to fight the rest 3/4. We're grateful to Eddie for taking on the challenge of developing young players, which someone will have to shoulder someday.

This was a little sad of a watch, what has happened to Japan? They used to be way better than this, I even noticed Stake had them as a 4to1 underdog before the game had even started? Was this just England playing really well or Japan has totally lost it guys?

[rico]

Congratulations to smith for making his first tackle in international rugby😅 first try was a forward pass and wheres the advantage at the end! Exciting play from japan when it was possible for them! Promising young players

[DougLyons-dt]

It’s not unfair to say Japan has slipped.

[brassmanjeh]

Always admire this 13 Japan style of play ever since he join the comp. World class indeed.

[beizman]

Japan is very technically efficient but once a team gets on top of them physically the brave blossoms just wilts of lately.

[makavachiguvare]

I feel like Japan has actually regressed. This was supposed to be where Argentina is right now judging on their 2015 performance

[joshua.productions]

Sleighthome and Furbanks tries were incredible.

[FMJParis]

It looks like Japan has been declining, the Japanese team from 2016-2022 feels like a distant memory. Well done England.

[thibadoh]

Without South Africa as opponents, England is a good team, they even doing back passes.

[nickcostantini]

forward pass on 1st England try, absurd not picked up, could have been a totally different out come :-)))

[mcc]

Finally someone who looks like a winger, Tom Roebuck

[keramidasnicolas]

Très bel essai des Japonais à la 33e minute.

[theodoremeyer]

Wow ...England has a win.. Must be the best team in the

[bennwaters]

Japan cannot handle raw power and physicality of the top ten teams atm. I don’t know where they go from here because they have drafted in a lot of bigger foreign born players. Their fast paced game isn’t working cause teams man handle them in the collisions and they can’t tackle well.

[stevegates]

So why do we have two tmo's getting involved where they dont need to be all the time but then some how they've gone to lunch when England score off a pass thrown forward at a 45° angle

[lee-ちゃん]

honestly since that incredible scrum by The Springboks on Japan in 2019, Japan are yet to find their bearings

[zeezan]

Surely the King had a word with them after the 5 losses.

[andreburger]

Only time england can win a game is against lower tier teams.

[LockedDownSpectator]

Japan beating the Springboks feels TOO long ago now. They need to get back those days.
