Another Groundhog Day first half for Japan Rugby. Lots of territory and possession that should result in more points. Keep it simple and take 3 points on penalties? Do that for first 20 mins and then be more expansive with the confidence of the points cushion?

Kubota Spears try in the last minute yesterday to secure the draw. Missed the conversion for the win. Bumper Golden Week crowd at Chichibunomiya.

Bernard Foley drop goal in last minute to win for Spears v Verblitz.
Arendse try on debut the highlights from yesterday’s JRLO action for me. Eagles v Brave Lupus on regular TV was a nice surprise.

Eddie Jones wearing a Tottenham football hat at the Eagles v Brave Lupus game?!! Disappointing stuff..
