01:04:20What a good run by Yoshida of the left wing.
01:04:33As quickly taken by the scrum half, Harakashi.
01:04:37And it was whipped out from the fly half out to Yoshida.
01:04:42And look at this, he got around Jack Clark very easily indeed.
01:04:46Couldn't hold on to his jersey.
01:04:47And once away, he flew down that left wing.
01:04:50Just 5'5", a little flyer on the Japanese left wing.
01:04:54Saunders did very well to come across and shepherd him into Staples.
01:04:59Good tackle there.
01:05:00The ball quickly released.
01:05:02And the support was there for Kajihara to get in for the try.
01:05:10Second try for Japan.
01:05:12And Asakawa fails with the conversion.
01:05:1828 points to 10.
01:05:36And there's a disappointment for Ireland.
01:05:38And there's a disappointment for Ireland.
01:05:40Keith Crossan coming off injured.
01:05:44He was being tended to back there.
01:05:48And the replacement will be Vinnie Cunningham.
01:05:51Vinnie Cunningham.
01:06:07Keith Crossan looking as if he's done over on an ankle.
01:06:15Mick Galway taps it down.
01:06:17And that's a bit untidy, Ireland.
01:06:18But it's Ralph Keyes who steadies it down.
01:06:21Back into the 22.
01:06:23What a good kick.
01:06:26Tony Ward.
01:06:28How that man has been left out of the Irish side in favour of Brian Smith.
01:06:32I just turn my hair out.
01:06:35Ireland were going back at a rate of knots there.
01:06:37He picks up the ball and places it into space and they go forward again.
01:06:40That's how the draft plays.
01:06:41That's what the position is all about.
01:06:44And that's Vinnie Cunningham coming on to the Irish side on the left wing.
01:06:48In place of Keith Crossan.
01:06:51Japan trying a counterattack inside their 22.
01:06:54They trail by 18 points.
01:06:59They have it again.
01:07:00Hashikori.
01:07:06Yoshida running into trouble.
01:07:13Good work by Japan.
01:07:14Oyagi now into the 22.
01:07:16Yoshida again.
01:07:17Forward pass.
01:07:19But once more, it was just as well for Ireland.
01:07:22There were more Japanese players in support than there were Irish defenders.
01:07:26Just referring back to that try by...
01:07:28That marvellous run that led up to the try by Yoshida down the left wing.
01:07:32To be fair to Ireland, there were some very good tackles went in.
01:07:35There was one missed early on.
01:07:37But I watched Rob Saunders chase back 70 metres to try and make that tackle.
01:07:40And the determination and commitment was there.
01:07:43So it's certainly not a lack of willingness on his part to make the tackle.
01:07:49Mannion holding it.
01:07:51Number 8, Ireland driving forward.
01:07:55Scrum having turned round.
01:07:57Ireland get the put in.
01:07:58It has to be reformed.
01:08:02And I think the referee, Galati, might just have a little check on the rule in those situations.
01:08:08Scrum should be reformed where it stops.
01:08:14So, Saunders feeds Keyes.
01:08:22Another testing kick for Hazakawa.
01:08:24Inside his own 22.
01:08:26Returns it downfield.
01:08:28Staples gathers.
01:08:32Back into the Japanese 22.
01:08:35Bounces just across the line.
01:08:37No ground gain by Jim Staples.
01:08:4428.10.
01:08:45Ireland conceding two tries to Japan.
01:08:48And two super tries they've been.
01:08:50Both by forwards.
01:08:52Hayashi and Kajihara.
01:08:56Neil Francis is penalised.
01:09:00Don't understand that.
01:09:05So Japan open it out.
01:09:08Great work there by Oyagi again.
01:09:12Handle back.
01:09:13Ball was loose.
01:09:14Out to Washida.
01:09:16This time Jack Clark forces him into touch.
01:09:2223.5 minutes into the second half.
01:09:26Japan now once more enjoying a good phase.
01:09:30As Ireland leading 28 points to 10.
01:09:34Seem to have relaxed a little bit.
01:09:42Referee asking the players to leave a gap.
01:09:45And there's a clear gap down there between the two lines.
01:09:48Neil Francis gathers.
01:09:50And the Japanese side penalised.
01:09:55The referee saying number 6, Chifago, was the one who was interfering with Neil Francis.
01:10:05That's Oyagi, number 5.
01:10:08That's Oyagi, number 5.
01:10:12Back in the Japanese side.
01:10:14Didn't make it for the match against Scotland.
01:10:17Brought back into the second row for today's game.
01:10:25Penalty.
01:10:33Gerald takes.
01:10:37Ireland get a scum.
01:10:39The referee says the ball was knocked forward by Japan.
01:10:43Ayashi will be thrilled I'm sure with the try he scored today.
01:10:50As Saunders puts it.
01:10:57Japanese forwards have to come back to the mark.
01:11:07Saunders.
01:11:08Kicks for Clarke.
01:11:10Good kick.
01:11:11Bringing the play up to the Japanese 22 or thereabouts.
01:11:19That's good sensible play.
01:11:20Because obviously Japan is going to try and move everything they can.
01:11:23And Ireland have to try and slow the game down.
01:11:25And try and pin them back into their own half.
01:11:27So a good sensible take that time by Saunders.
01:11:30Mannion takes from the Japanese throw.
01:11:32And he's going to get a second chance.
01:11:34Mannion takes from the Japanese throw.
01:11:36And he's going to get a second try.
01:11:37Noel Mannion is in.
01:11:39Yes sir.
01:11:46He liked that.
01:11:48And that was straight from the Japanese throw.
01:11:52The long throw that they tried to use went straight to Noel Mannion.
01:11:58And.
01:12:00This time he decided to work for his try.
01:12:03The last one he had a simple run from the back of the scrum.
01:12:06This time poor Japanese tackling.
01:12:09And Noel Mannion just brushed them aside.
01:12:14And look at how he celebrated.
01:12:1832-10.
01:12:20Noel Mannion celebrates his return to the Irish side with two tries.
01:12:29And in the background.
01:12:31The Irish Lansdowne Road Wave.
01:12:34Entertaining the crowd.
01:12:40As Ralph Keyes.
01:12:42Attempts.
01:12:43To.
01:12:45Record his third conversion.
01:12:49The wind won't take that back.
01:12:53Ralph Keyes.
01:12:56Adding 16 points today.
01:12:58This is a really great try by Noel Mannion.
01:13:00Just watch the sheer determination.
01:13:02There's no way he should have got through here.
01:13:04But he decides that he's going to have a cut.
01:13:06That's terrific work.
01:13:08Good ball handling skill.
01:13:09And even the handoff here at the end was top quality.
01:13:12That's a great, great try by Noel Mannion.
01:13:14And how he enjoyed it at the end.
01:13:16And rightly so.
01:13:17Great try.
01:13:21Now 2-0.
01:13:22Restarts.
01:13:23Mannion.
01:13:25Hamilton driving forward.
01:13:28Losing it forward.
01:13:29Hayashi.
01:13:31In trouble.
01:13:32But the ball did go forward from Ireland.
01:13:34Scrum to Japan.
01:13:38Interesting that in Ireland's first match against Zimbabwe.
01:13:42The number 8 Brian Robinson scored four tries.
01:13:46And now against Japan.
01:13:48Another number 8 Noel Mannion has scored two tries.
01:13:55Masudo.
01:13:56Great work by Japan.
01:13:57This is Matsuho the winger.
01:14:03And eventually Jim Staples finds touch.
01:14:07But there's a penalty.
01:14:09Or a scrum.
01:14:10It's a referee's whistle goes.
01:14:12And he gives Ireland a scrum for a knock on by Japan.
01:14:16Just when it seemed that Matsuho on the right wing.
01:14:19Was going to stretch that Irish defence.
01:14:2232-10.
01:14:23Ireland lead.
01:14:25In what has been a very entertaining game.
01:14:28Thank you movement.
01:14:31Ralph Keyes.
01:14:34Good clearance.
01:14:38As I look there at Kashihara.
01:14:40Who came in a bit feet first.
01:14:43To try and block the kick.
01:14:45Japan using two men at the line out.
01:14:50Kick back.
01:14:51And now a little bit of footwork by the Japanese.
01:14:54But it's claimed by Ireland.
01:14:58Saunders.
01:14:59Keyes.
01:15:01Didn't knock it on.
01:15:04That's a good piece of recovery by the fly half.
01:15:07And the last roll brings it in.
01:15:09The sign of real skill is the economy of time on the ball.
01:15:12And Ralph Keyes epitomises that aspect.
01:15:18If he has erred.
01:15:19He has more than made up for it.
01:15:22And as you say.
01:15:23The epitome of star quality.
01:15:31And now a little bit of footwork by the fly half.
01:15:35And the last roll brings it in.
01:15:39Come on Ireland.
01:15:43Referee.
01:15:45Calling for a scrum.
01:15:46Giving Ireland a put in.
01:15:47As we come to the 30th minute of this first second half.
01:15:52Ireland leading 19 points to 6 at half time.
01:15:55Have increased their lead now 32-10.
01:15:58And a stoppage by one of the Japanese players.
01:16:02Calls for attention.
01:16:09And.
01:16:11Not too sure which of these players it is.
01:16:13But certainly Japan have really tested Ireland on several occasions.
01:16:18They put a lot of pressure on.
01:16:20Some fine running by their backs.
01:16:23Their out half Matsuo had a magnificent break early on.
01:16:27And then we saw their left wing Yoshida taking advantage of.
01:16:32Some.
01:16:34Weak Irish tackling initially.
01:16:35To set up fine try by Kashihara.
01:16:39And.
01:16:41Meanwhile Ireland have come back at them very strongly as well.
01:16:45And Noel Mannion with his two tries certainly enjoying himself at number 8.
01:16:5231 minutes into the second half.
01:16:54Noel Mannion takes.
01:16:57Matsuohara.
01:16:59Feeds it back.
01:17:01Now to Keyes.
01:17:02Curtis.
01:17:03Brendan Mullen.
01:17:05Jack Clarke overruns it.
01:17:06And away comes Yoshida.
01:17:09And that was untidy play by the Irish three quarters.
01:17:12There was no necessity for that.
01:17:14Rather lackadaisical handling in midfield.
01:17:20Yes that was sloppy.
01:17:22The pity is you know seeing the ball moving towards the right wing today.
01:17:25And Jack Clarke has done well.
01:17:27But if Simon Dagan was out there and getting ball today what would he do?
01:17:31Now and ever.
01:17:33Noel Mannion.
01:17:35Taking on.
01:17:36Defaga.
01:17:38Penalty against Ireland for going over the top.
01:17:51And.
01:17:52Noel Mannion looks as if he may have injured a leg.
01:17:57He's taking it easy and.
01:17:59Harakoshi the strong half.
01:18:01Japan wanted to get going right away.
01:18:05Noel Mannion.
01:18:07Now.
01:18:09Talking to.
01:18:11Joe Doran and indicating that his.
01:18:13Leg is causing him some problems.
01:18:18But what a day Noel Mannion has been having.
01:18:23So unfortunate for him.
01:18:25Noel is such a talented footballing number eight.
01:18:27And the man who has replaced him has taken his chance so well.
01:18:30It's most frustrating to have to sit in the stand but.
01:18:32That's life.
01:18:35So.
01:18:36Great penalty taken by Japan.
01:18:38Hayashi setting it up.
01:18:40This is Oyagi the number five.
01:18:41Brendan Mullen.
01:18:42That's a good tackle by Mullen.
01:18:46Set up again.
01:18:48Matsuo.
01:18:49Harau.
01:18:52Matsuho.
01:18:53Into the Irish 22.
01:18:55Staples.
01:18:56Einstein.
01:18:57But I think the ball went forward.
01:18:58From Matsuho.
01:19:02Jim Staples did well.
01:19:06Again lovely crisp handling by the Japanese backs.
01:19:08But significantly two very good tackles from Brendan Mullen.
01:19:14In the scrum.
01:19:15Comes to Keyes.
01:19:18And that's a fine kick from inside his 22.
01:19:21Within five six meters of the halfway line.
01:19:28Certainly Ralph Keyes gives an air of solidity behind the Irish scrum.
01:19:33Which is.
01:19:34I'm sure most encouraging.
01:19:36For the rest of the players.
01:19:40And once more we have a stoppage for one of the.
01:19:43Japanese players.
01:19:45Who needs attention.
01:19:48And it looks like Oyagi.
01:19:50The number five.
01:19:52And the referee says.
01:19:54Take him off.
01:19:56And we'll continue with the play.
01:19:58But.
01:19:59He has to go off for attention.
01:20:03And.
01:20:04Miyamoto the number 18 will come in.
01:20:10Normally a flank forward.
01:20:13Miyamoto number 18.
01:20:22So now Oyagi who.
01:20:24Played so well for so long comes off.
01:20:27And has to be attended to by a doctor as Japan open it out well.
01:20:31Fullback gives it inside nicely.
01:20:32Matsuho gives it to Yoshida.
01:20:34Wasn't going anywhere.
01:20:36Ball seemed to be knocked forward.
01:20:38Scum to Ireland.
01:20:47So.
01:20:48Number 18.
01:20:50Miyamoto comes in.
01:20:53For Oyagi.
01:21:03And.
01:21:04The penalty is for Japan.
01:21:07Japan are going to run it.
01:21:12No.
01:21:13Manual.
01:21:15Go back.
01:21:18Quickly taken by Japan.
01:21:26And Ireland were offside.
01:21:28Japan take it quickly.
01:21:29Try for another try.
01:21:31Inside from.
01:21:33The fly half Matsuho.
01:21:38And another penalty to Japan.
01:21:40Which they run.
01:21:46Japan trial.
01:21:4832 10.
01:21:51Determined as it comes to Ayashi.
01:21:53One of their try scorers.
01:21:54Scrum half.
01:21:56Pizza that to her.
01:21:58The fly half and captain.
01:22:00Centering captain.
01:22:02No progress there.
01:22:04Japan trying everything.
01:22:06But the referee is giving another penalty.
01:22:14And the scrum half is going for the line.
01:22:19They haven't made it yet.
01:22:21And this time the referee will give Japan a scrum.
01:22:24They really have tried very hard.
01:22:26There was some crunching tackle there.
01:22:28But part of her on the scrum half.
01:22:30And he took that quick tip.
01:22:34And we have just.
01:22:36Three minutes of normal time remaining.
01:22:38But there will be some time for the.
01:22:40Replacements.
01:22:42And the injuries.
01:22:44And the injuries.
01:22:46And the injuries.
01:22:47And the injuries.
01:22:48Replacements.
01:22:50And the injuries.
01:22:51And the stoppages.
01:22:57Miyamoto.
01:22:59The replacement for Tufago.
01:23:03As it comes back to the scrum half.
01:23:05And he looks for Yoshida.
01:23:07And the little winger is in.
01:23:09Yoshida.
01:23:11Gets Japan's third try.
01:23:19And after his run.
01:23:20Earlier in the half.
01:23:22He deserved a try.
01:23:23To show for his efforts.
01:23:29Well they pressed so much.
01:23:31And they ran the ball.
01:23:32So often.
01:23:33Taken from the number eight Latu.
01:23:35The scrum half.
01:23:36Harakashi.
01:23:37Gave it out.
01:23:38Wasn't the best of passes.
01:23:40But Yoshida.
01:23:41Had no one to beat.
01:23:42And he was in.
01:23:43For.
01:23:44A deserved.
01:23:45Try.
01:23:4614 points for Japan.
01:23:4732 for Ireland.
01:23:49Two minutes from the end.
01:23:50Yeah fully deserved.
01:23:51We've seen a few teams use that.
01:23:52It's a simple ball from.
01:23:53Eight.
01:23:54The number eight.
01:23:55To the scrum half.
01:23:56Jack Clark does well to get his hand in here.
01:23:59The ball comes to Yoshida.
01:24:01And he has no problem at all in making the line.
01:24:07And the.
01:24:08Kick.
01:24:09By.
01:24:10Hosokawa.
01:24:11Is successful.
01:24:12The second.
01:24:13Conversion.
01:24:17Japan.
01:24:18Sixteen points.
01:24:19Double scores at the moment.
01:24:22Thirty two.
01:24:23Sixteen.
01:24:28But overall.
01:24:29I think this is a good Ireland performance.
01:24:31When you consider that it's a makeshift team.
01:24:33Those put together only two days ago.
01:24:35Whereas the first team if you like to call it that.
01:24:37Has been working together for so long.
01:24:39That this is actually a very good Irish performance.
01:24:41In that context.
01:24:48So.
01:24:49Ralph.
01:24:50Keyes.
01:24:51Restarts.
01:24:52And.
01:24:53Japan.
01:24:54We're going to run everything now.
01:24:55Inside their own 22.
01:24:56Matsuo.
01:24:57The right wing.
01:24:58Losing possession.
01:24:59On the Japanese 22.
01:25:00Ralph.
01:25:01Keyes.
01:25:02A drop at goal.
01:25:03Left and wide.
01:25:04Vincent Cunningham to chase.
01:25:05Won't have the pace.
01:25:06But.
01:25:07He's got it.
01:25:08He's got it.
01:25:09He's got it.
01:25:10He's got it.
01:25:11He's got it.
01:25:12He's got it.
01:25:13He's got it.
01:25:14He's got it.
01:25:15He's got it.
01:25:16He won't have the pace.
01:25:17As the ball.
01:25:18Goes over the touch and goal area.
01:25:20Line.
01:25:21And.
01:25:2222.
01:25:23Drop out.
01:25:24I suppose it's easy to be the.
01:25:26Hurler on the ditch but sitting up there that wasn't the drop drop goal.
01:25:29Was not the right option there around food to.
01:25:32Flash that ball out into the open field because so many Japanese.
01:25:36Have been off-court towards this side of the field at Ohiara.
01:25:38At it comes the Saunders.
01:25:40Brendan Mullen.
01:25:43Curtis chases.
01:25:44Curtis Chasis, Hosokawa, just slips it into touch, five meters from the Japanese
01:25:51line, into injury time in the second half, Ireland leading 32 points to 16.
01:26:02Ralph Keyes, contributing today 16 points, Noel Manion two tries added to the
01:26:11try scored by Jim Staples and Pat O'Hara.
01:26:19Terry Kingston captaining Ireland today, back it comes from O'Hara to Kingston, he
01:26:26loses possession, knocks it forward and he saw almost a try for himself to round
01:26:31off a very worthwhile afternoon as Ireland's captain.
01:26:41Back to Matsuo, the fly half, on his own line, Japanese players really doing
01:26:48everything to try and keep the ball alive. Whistle goes, referee said there
01:26:53was a knock on and it'll be a scrum to Ireland, and Ireland with one victory over
01:27:01Zimbabwe by 55 points to 11, now leading Japan 32 to 16 in injury time, assured of
01:27:10a place in the quarterfinals of the World Cup. Their match against Scotland
01:27:15will decide whether Ireland play a quarterfinal in Murrayfield or a
01:27:22quarterfinal in Lansdowne Road.
01:27:29So Saunders puts in, as the scrum goes down, the Japanese front row reckon pretty
01:27:38tired, as Saunders puts in, now can Ireland finish with a flourish, back into
01:27:45Mannion, Hamilton, Saunders to Keyes, Curtis, the long one out is intercepted
01:27:54very well by Katsuki, Ralph Keyes covering, Ralph Keyes looking for support and finds
01:28:02it in Brendan Mullen, the kick was too far, and once more passing in the Irish
01:28:07six-quarter line, just a little bit sloppy. Yeah that's unfortunate because
01:28:11really there's no way that ball should have gone to ground, the understanding
01:28:14out wide there was very very poor, really Ralph Keyes shouldn't have had to come
01:28:18back to clean that whole thing up, which he did very well, but we must get it right
01:28:21out wide, which we're not doing at the moment.
01:28:24Neil Francis, supported by Mick Galway who feeds Saunders, and Gary Halpin took his
01:28:32eye off it, referee is now going to award the scrum.
01:28:38It's so demoralizing when the forwards have gone to the trouble of giving a
01:28:42good ruck ball as we got that time, to see it spread out wide and hit the ground.
01:28:45Well that's the rather anti-climatic finish to this game between Ireland and
01:28:51Japan, Ireland and Cleveland Japan by 32 points to 16.
