Goromaru v SA had EJ written all over it. As players they'd struggle with playing what they saw but could execute set plays exactly. EJ knew this. Much like with England in 2019, he had a orchestrated a number of set plays to manipulate the defence.
They miss an old try when Japan was a rwc lightweight. The Japanese winger jumped from a standing start to catch an errant high ball from a Welsh pass, sprint, side steps a Welsh defender, then turn on the afterburner for a try. That was amazing technically.
Much more surprising is that they have done it in many sports. From international punching bags to international heavyweights. Examples like badminton, hockey.
The best try ever wasn’t included? Japanese player kicking the ball and chasing it, dived between the posts and the ball dropped into his hands and be pressed it down for a try. Truly the most amazing try ever for any team!
Japan is a force to be reckoned with they get better and better but they should stop buying players from South Africa or other countries and train their own players from Japan but anyways they playing well.
