Wow thats awesome.

What was the score and was there anyone watching?

 

[Arucard]

A shocking effort from the Japanese tonight.

A final score of 64 - 0 to the NSW side.
a crowd of just under 100 turned up at first before around 20 people walked out in disgust just before and after halftime.
The score honestly flattered the home side with NSW making alot of unforced errors with pressure firmly on the japanese.

MVP awards were given to the NSW #13 & #1 and one given to the japanese #7 (who had a terrible game and they must have felt sorry for him).

the #12 for Japan showed the most heart out there tonight, did more than his job and gave it everything for his small size. (deserved the mvp)

For me the Japanese' problem is communication, theres none of it! They scream at each other to get back the 10 and thats it. theres no talking to plug gaps or to mark up properly, and when they were in possesion all that was heard was the crickets. The #7 didnt direct what he wanted from his team and showed no creative ability on his own. his kicking game was limited to a short punt straight down the throats of the opposition and a crossfield bomb to no chasers because nobody knows what hes doing. He was without a doubt the most dissapointing player out there (MVP i think not).


This game was played on saturday.
Game 2 next friday.

Coach: Stuart Raper

Clearly a misprint or error of some sort. The team won. Raper could not of been coach

 

[otag]

arucard, was this japan ceo xiii weaker or the same as japan's national team?

 

[axl rose]

This game was played on saturday.
Game 2 next friday.

Is the next game in Tokyo as well?

 

[Arucard]

Yes the second game is in tokyo.
And the national team isnt too much different except for afew of the foriegners wouldnt be there as they dont qualify for the national team as yet.

Really poor effort from the playmakers they really didnt take control of their team at any stage, too many players getting in each others way in attacking sets close to the line. in the end they just gave up and just tried using the big guys to steamroll over the line which didnt work at all.

and yes that was stuart raper.

 

[ali]

:lol: about raper. Shame about Japan's performance, but great to see this tour at least happening!

Are the students helping out with coaching and development work whilst over there?

I like the system they have going in Europe, where the GB accademic Lions pick a squad based on the players commitment to the cause, and they do a whole lot of coaching of development work when they go on their annual tour.

 

[mtngry]

Good on someone for bothering to play in Japan.
Japan wont get better until they play more games,
let alon games together

 

[screeny]

I don't think any new nation's potential RL players can improve from one off tours like this.

What's important is that they're coached sound fundamentals and then they use them as often as possible in that country. All these tours are disingenuous in terms of their development value to the code IMO.

Play footy a lot = RL development.

 

[Arucard]

Yes they are doing some clinics through this week.

Game 2 played earlier tonight.

Final Score: NSW 68 - Japan 0
Crowd: 35

Just when we thought it couldnt get any worse..... Same problems as game 1 but worse.
#7 in game 1 moved aside to #6 giving #2 from game 1 a chance in the #7. The pair of them couldnt organise a p!$$up at a brewery. Japan played with 19 players tonight but that didnt help them in the slightest.

Game was played in 4 quarters again.
Quarter 1: NSW 14 - 0
Quarter 2: NSW 40 - 0
Quarter 3: NSW 44 - 0
Fulltime : NSW 68 - 0

Looks like quarter 3 was their best only letting in 4 points but that was due to the aussies 0% (im dead serious) completion for that quarter giving Japan a whole 20 minutes attacking their line and they still came away with nothing.

 

[winnyason]

this is a big example why it is so important that the world cup is sucessful, japan needs help but hay pick a ticket with the rest.

 

[Evil Homer]

As someone said on a different thread, I think you could pick the first 17 blokes off the street and they would still comfortably beat Japan at the moment. It's sad, but with no proper coaching and little game-time it's no surprise.

 

[screeny]

Japan doesn't need the WC to be successful, Japan needs Japanese blokes playing each other on a weekly basis, with a rudimentary knowledge of the fundamental skills, for as long as a championship season is feasible.

That's the only way. Everything else is a gimmick or wishful thinking.
