Anyone else watching?

Im watching Canada get destroyed vs Japan.

17-7 at the half right now.

Damnit. They should be able to beat Japan.

They play the game well and hard but don't seem to get the points when they are in the "red zone". To me they throw down the hardest hits and are fearless

I agree.. they seem fearless... but that's not always a good thing if it leads to impulsive decisions. They seemed to be spending most of their time trying to strip the ball from a Japanese player instead of tackling and rucking over. While its great to strip the ball, its not great if it doesn't work and the player gets another 4 metres while you're doing that.

Also... terrible line-outs last night. Too many turnovers.
