As long as we keep the oldies like Bortolami,Bergamasco and Orquera in the squad we'll never win anything
Uch poor Italy, well done japan!
Penalty to Japan and they kick it out to win!
The hooter has gone and fi we have a legal scrum it will be the last play of the game
1 Minute left and Japan get a short arm penalty at the scrum for an early engagement. they choose to take another scrum. The clock is in their favour and they are running it down.
Poor defence around the fringes as a small pop finds Barbieri in loads of space to run 30m to score
Japan absorbing the pressure well and slowly breaking the Italians down with their solid defence
Kick pass out wide to Vosawai was a few inches in front of him and he knocks on stretching for it.
Italy on the attack after a break by Venditti on the left wing
Great play by Japan as they attack with great skill and enterprise. They spread the Italians wide a number of times creating gaps
