00:07Hello, konnichiwa, and welcome to a rather pyrotechnic Allianz Stadium at Twickenham.
00:13We're hurtling towards the inaugural Nations Championship playoffs, and here in West London,
00:18as the fire and the smoke puff, it is a day of opportunity, fresh faces, and one or two familiar
00:23ones as England and Japan meet. This really has been the round of upsets. Have a look at the right
00:29hand side of your screen. In the last half an hour, Wales have ended a 73-year wait to detonate
00:36the
00:36All Blacks in Cardiff. Earlier today, it was Argentina coming from behind to beat England,
00:41and France defeating South Africa in a blockbuster game last night. Ireland and Fiji to come this
00:46evening, and a fascinating affair between Scotland and Australia tomorrow. Two wounded animals.
00:53You know how it works by now, the top 12 teams in the world split by hemispheres
00:57into two pools of six. The unbeaten sides heading into this match, where the teams from the south,
01:03New Zealand and South Africa, but both of them have been derailed this weekend, as we saw
01:08in Paris and sensationally in Cardiff. In the northern pool, England can stay hot on the heels
01:14of France with maximum points today. Ireland likewise. Wales have now leapfrogs Scotland,
01:20who must beat the Wallabies tomorrow to stay in the hunt for the top two.
01:24It's a grey autumnal afternoon here in Twickenham as night begins to fall. Barely a breath of wind
01:31troubling the flags around the arena. O'Dellie Morris, former England and Lions scrum half,
01:37there are so many eye-catching stories this weekend. None more so today for us than Eddie Jones coming
01:43back to Twickenham for the second time. He's always plotting something, isn't he?
01:47He certainly is. Eddie Jones says he will bring chaos to England this afternoon. The definition
01:53of that word is complete disorder and confusion. Well, after England's destruction of the Wallabies
01:58last week, that will take some doing. England kicked less metres than usual, ran with the ball more often,
02:05and gave less penalties away. I feel with the World Cup, in under 12 months, England are starting to
02:11understand what they must do.
02:16The time was, the English pack could stand in this tunnel, gaze comfortably over the heads of their
02:21Japanese counterparts, not so these days. The man in shot, Harry Hawkins, six foot ten inches tall,
02:28the size, the brave blossoms have cultivated. They will need Hawkins, they will need Darns,
02:33and their other mountainous figures to front up in the biggest of ways today. Henry Pollock,
02:42looking to start as well as he has finished for England of Lights, as this terrific weekend of top
02:48class rugby comes to the boil. It's taken us from Paris to Genova and Cardiff, onwards to Dublin and then
02:54to Edinburgh, from one storied stage to the next, and now here at one of the grandest Allianz Stadium
03:01at Twickenham, through the haze, and the smoke, and the plains. The teams are ready.
03:17Into the cool November air, it is England and Japan. Steve Borkwick and Eddie Jones meeting again,
03:25two sides in different places, at different stages of their development,
03:30but with a shared goal in mind, to arrive in Australia in next year's Rugby World Cup,
03:36in the best shape possible. England have come out swinging after newspaper reports of a rift
03:42between Borkwick and his players. Today, a rotated team gets a chance to stake its claim for the
03:48Meteor challenges ahead. Japan have not come here to play by England's rules, nor dance to the English tune.
03:54They will need to be disruptive and destructive in equal measure. Are there still a few more rabbits left
04:02in Eddie Jones' magic hats? And before we kick the rugby off, we're going to pause to pay tribute
04:08to two redoubtable former England players who've sadly passed away in recent months. John Ranson,
04:13the wing, who became the first England man to score a test try against the All Blacks in New Zealand,
04:18and later hit the headlines for using hot tea to defend its own from intruders.
04:23And Robin Cowling, a teak-tough farmer from the West Country who gave so much to Gloucester and
04:28latterly Rob Baxter's Exeter Chiefs.
04:57Two hard men, two rugby men, whose legacies will endure, and all of our thoughts,
05:01Lots and well-wishers with the loved ones of John and Robin for the National Anthem of Japan, performed by
05:08Mai Kikawa.
06:01Satsang with Mooji
06:17If able, please remain standing for the National Anthem of England, performed by Naomi Simon, God Save the King.
06:47Satsang with Mooji
07:12The scene set at a sold-out Allianz Stadium.
07:16Now time for a last look at who will grace it. Opportunity very much the theme of Steve Borthwick's selection
07:23today.
07:23Ten changes from Sunday's record thrashing of the Wallabies. Henry Pollock shot the lights out on the wing.
07:29Now it is up to him to prove he can start matches as well as he finishes from the number
07:33eight bear.
07:34Genj, Cowan Dickey, Apokifor Dewar, an all-new front row Alex Coles in at six for the similarly rangy and
07:41aggressive Holly Chesham.
07:43Just a second start outside Jack Van Portfleet for George Ford who plays ahead of Marcus Smith at ten.
07:48Max Ajomo and Will Joseph challenged to stake a claim.
07:52Eddie Jones has injury concerns in the back row and on the wing so it's much the same side as
07:56went down narrowly in Cardiff.
07:58The pack today is unchanged. Watch out for the totemic Warner Derns, one of the best locks in the world.
08:03And the giant Harry Hawkins who's close to seven feet tall. Back row Ben Gunter nearly seven feet wide.
08:10A fifth cap in the first ever game of professional fifteens for Riku Tokito on the left wing.
08:15He's brought in for his presence under the high ball.
08:18Northampton's wonder kid Archie McParlin making a swingle and debut from the bench today just as Greg Fisilal did six
08:23days ago.
08:24Helu, Sato, Costley all packing a punch among the Japanese reserves.
08:34An English rugby public energised by what they saw here last Sunday have packed out the Allianz Stadium at Twickenham.
08:41The tickets snapped up, sold out and it all lay down with a Spanish accent today.
08:48Demian Schneider, a qualified lawyer from Argentina.
08:50He has the whistle and is backed up by colleagues from New Zealand, Wales and South Africa.
08:57An England team who have been telling us all about their renewed attacking focus this week.
09:02You never quite know what the cunning old fox Eddie Jones is up to though.
09:06He has talked to the need to remove England's structure, remove the tent poles of their game plan.
09:15And bring about his own form of rugby anarchy.
09:20On paper, in terms of resource and depth in pedigree, this is a mismatch.
09:27The scales tipped heavily in favour of England's rugby establishments.
09:31But test matches, remember, are not played on games of paper.
09:35The first job Eddie Jones telling us this week was to win the ball back.
09:39Whether it was a Japan kick or an England kick-off.
09:44They know that battle in the air is so crucial.
09:46They don't want England to find easy possession, easy patterns of play early.
09:52And Harada the hooker swallowed it up.
09:55Saito sending it high.
09:58Isida looking.
09:59Harada has picked up the crumbs.
10:02And George Ford gets his first touch.
10:04Important day for him, preferred to Marcus Smith at ten.
10:07He will be trusted to facilitate and orchestrate the shiny toys outside him.
10:13He's one of the shiniest, Henry Pollock.
10:15He's two tries from the wing against the Wallabies.
10:20Slade missed the Jomo across the face and Joseph bursting clear away from Downs.
10:26Japanese defenders flailing and Joseph his first touch as an international player in close to five years.
10:35And boy has the Gloucester man shot the lights out after 65 seconds.
10:44Absolutely first class.
10:45Eddie Jones there wanted to bring chaos to the Allianz Stadium and to England.
10:50Well, England have just turned that right on its head with one minute, five seconds.
10:55Goodness me.
10:56I'm sure you know his brother, Jamie, but basically Will Joseph there.
11:01I hope the referees just checking something.
11:05But I just hope it is a try because that is a sensational start for him.
11:09Time off.
11:09We're checking a tackle by Harry Hawkins.
11:14It doesn't sound like the try is being checked, it's for a tackle possibly in the build-up.
11:20The crowd, yeah, we were listening, we were listening.
11:23The action of number four blue on number one England.
11:30It's Hawkins on Ellis Genshire, oh.
11:32As much as Harry Hawkins is nearly seven feet tall, he's not sufficiently bent, he's not wrapped at arm.
11:40And he could be in trouble here.
11:42We saw it last night, didn't we, South African.
11:46That will be, I'm sure, definitely a yellow card.
11:50With a...
11:51With a...
11:52Yes.
11:53That is correct.
11:53Okay, Mariusz, I have a decision.
11:55Possibility of a red.
11:57He cannot.
11:58So number three, four is clearly upright.
12:02There is head contact, small play.
12:04The advantage has been placed, so try scored.
12:06Number four is going for an offer in the review.
12:08Little fan.
12:10Well, this will be referred to Alec Griffiths, our foul play review official.
12:14He's got ten minutes to decide whether Hawkins punishment will remain as is,
12:19or be upgraded to a red card.
12:22But this, Debbie, this is the stuff of Japanese nightmares, a try and a yellow card.
12:26It's hard enough with 15 to go down to 14.
12:30And that will be, I'm sure, from last night, the South African getting sent off and saying
12:35you've got to wrap your arm around, you cannot tack that arm and use your shoulder to lead.
12:40That is why it was brought in, fundamentally.
12:43Erm, but going back to Will Joseph's try, unbelievable.
12:49Apparently he's been doing things in training that just makes people just stop and stare,
12:52and most of the crowd did that tonight.
12:55George Ford on cap number 109, five points short of 500 in an England shirt.
13:02Might get a few chances to nibble into that tally tonight, but he's passed up the first one.
13:07Will Joseph's first England try?
13:09And no surprises, Debbie, that Max Ajomo had a part to play in it too.
13:14Yes, I'm sure my age needs to play with his dad, but again, I've just watched him from afar
13:18because he is a great player, and that's what would be one of England's problem areas.
13:23I think last week it was the 14th combination of centres Slade had played with,
13:27and he's got his 15th tonight, or whatever, but you've got to get that solid midfield co-organisation,
13:33otherwise you ain't going anywhere. Hopefully that's a tremendous start for him.
13:40Here's Ford.
13:41White keep coming back, keep coming back, 13.
13:50It's just the way he sort of glides out of one tackle and uses his upper body strength,
13:57and he pushed off and used that as a sort of sounding board, and boom, he was gone.
14:02Please stay with the first man, thank you.
14:05Give me one second.
14:06Japan just needed cool their heads.
14:09How many? Four.
14:12Japan line it was 100%, 14 from 14 against Wales, they decimated the Welsh set piece,
14:18five steals, Derns, Hawkins and company, go to the top and Jack Cornelson, and then Shimogawa.
14:24It's a loose pass though, behind Dylan Riley, Pollock's all over him,
14:28he's gobbled up the centre for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
14:34Japan talk often about the tempo they have to play at.
14:38They've got a bigger pack than they're used to, the backs are still small in stature as a rule.
14:43They call it Chosoku Rugby, Super Fast Rugby, it translates to English.
14:49Can't play Super Fast Rugby in those conditions though, without the accuracy to match it.
14:53You've got to have Super Fast passing, Super Fast catching the ball if you're going to play here.
14:57And this is what I'm talking about, lovely miss pass on a plate.
15:02And that's all wingers want, it's a chance.
15:04The captain misses him, and then he just uses that little left arm there as a push away.
15:10And what a start for England, what a start for Will Joseph.
15:15From Portfleet, Kevin Dickey shoveling it on, Slade, little dummy,
15:19and he's got the power as well before Ben Gunter rearranges his ribcage.
15:25From Portfleet to Itoji.
15:27And now Ojoomo this time the short pass introducing Freddie Stewart.
15:34Englander into the Australia 22 on 23 occasions last weekend.
15:40Free-flowing rugby landing punch after punch.
15:44Pollock sets it up.
15:46Gaines with Martin riding side saddle.
15:49It's gone loose but it's backwards, and Ojoomo dummying Derns and spearing into the 22.
15:55Martin takes on the responsibility.
15:59Englander with a plethora of options on either side.
16:02Ben Earl, top carrier in this competition.
16:04Warner Derns has picked it up but it was lost forwards via the strip.
16:11And England will have the scrum.
16:14Yeah.
16:15It is again Eddie Jones saying almost that Japan are going to bring this chaos theory.
16:22We all know what exactly he means but the trouble is they've got to get their hands on the ball.
16:25And when they do get their hands on the ball they've got to keep it.
16:28And cause England problems.
16:30Swing low rings around the Allianz Stadium for the first time after, what, five minutes or so.
16:37I think they're thinking it's a good game to really sound out what they're about.
16:44Yeah we're going to have a decision from the bunker here and it's a big one.
16:52This is a horrendous start for Japan, Harry Hawking's yellow card becomes a 20 minute red.
16:58He will be able to replace him but not for another 15 minutes.
17:02His day's done and this is why.
17:04You can't, again for those that don't understand the game,
17:07you've got to be able to accept that and wrap your arms around that ball carrier as he comes into
17:11you.
17:12You cannot stay tall and he's one of the tallest on the field at six foot ten.
17:16He may have a get out of jail scenario because like he said, someone else can come on for him.
17:21That's a new law that has been happening back in the olden days, not the olden days,
17:25last year sometimes, before they introduced this he would be off and they would be down to 14
17:30and that would be game over.
17:32What they haven't done is put an extra back into the scrum.
17:35You're almost damned if you do, damned if you don't here.
17:37You put an extra back in to shore up the scrum and make it up to eight players.
17:40You leave space outside, you don't do it, you're underpowered.
17:44I'm glad I'm thinking England have got plenty of moves in the backs if they need to.
17:49Penalty, worst for England, from Portfleet into Stewart, bouldering fourth.
17:55That's good, good turnover, I came back for the vantage, not pushing a strike.
18:01Another penalty and go for another scrum.
18:03They're going to tap on Trundle here, Ellis Genge, but not from the mark.
18:07Yeah.
18:10That pushes straight.
18:18So that's put it in the mix here with Wales beating New Zealand then.
18:21My goodness Wayne.
18:24I'm not quite sure.
18:28Eddie Jones still has the highest win percentage of any England coach,
18:32hovering around 73% ahead of supply Woodward.
18:35Coats them to the last slam as well.
18:37You can see Neil Hatley beside him, former Bath and England assistant coach,
18:41who's been a key lieutenant for Eddie Jones.
18:43Interesting call this there.
18:44Are we England taking the points? It's gone out of fashion.
18:47I'm not quite sure why.
18:53Because obviously they're underpowered in the scrim and picking seven forwards there,
18:57they've got one guy off.
18:58Well, look at Ellis Genge's reaction here.
19:05That's a loose head prop who knows we've got the opposition back on top.
19:09And there's only seven of them in the pack.
19:11And if they put one in the pack, there's one more advantage for you backs out there.
19:15What's going on?
19:16Mr. Captain, sir.
19:18But anyway, it's a talking point for later in the press conference.
19:25Why'd you stop?
19:28He's the second test match at full back for Japan.
19:33Finding Kitahara from the second test match full stop at fly half.
19:37Some depth issues at fly half to Snow Eddie Jones. Lee Simpson injured.
19:42Because of the vagaries of Japanese rugby, the importance of the university system,
19:46Ito, his wonder kid, his 21-year-old has been held back by his university team,
19:51rather than playing test match rugby this time of year.
19:55Japan needs to keep control of the ball, go through a few phases, get it nice and subtle in your
20:01hand,
20:01know what you're doing, don't have to try and break the line straight away, just get some flow going.
20:05Oh, dear.
20:06Watch it, watch it!
20:07A wild pass from Reilly behind his start, and they would have possession again.
20:13And all that, like I was saying, flow momentum motivated, it just goes in one pass.
20:18How many?
20:18They weren't really forcing it too much.
20:22Receiver, two metres.
20:23But it's the way Japan plays, it's the way they have to play,
20:27if they're going to cause some problems.
20:31Insert this line, good timing.
20:32Kevin Dickey to captain Otoji.
20:35He became a father on his 32nd birthday a couple of weeks ago by Otoji.
20:39One stop.
20:42One stop.
20:43Kevin Dickey gets the slap from Van Portfleet.
20:45Japan were up quickly, but Ojoomo, beautiful hands again.
20:49Stewart galloping through the middle, outside of the boot.
20:52Will it sit for Will Joseph for another?
20:55Oh, yes.
21:00Will Joseph's having a party?
21:03England are running right already.
21:06Two test tries in ten minutes.
21:11Well, it's the combination through the middle again, isn't it, Ojoomo this time?
21:15Not trying to do anything ridiculously hard, just breaking a great line.
21:22As it comes out, Van Portfleet just makes it superbly well.
21:26And then it's straight down into the bottom corner, and it could be...
21:29Well, it could be Murphy.
21:32Murley, sorry, from the other wing coming in, it wasn't going to be.
21:35Will Joseph said, this is great from the scrim half, that's great from the inside centre.
21:39Stewart at full-back coming in with pace.
21:42Dexterity to put it on his toe, and just wait, wait, wait, and then pounce.
21:48George Ford to bring up 500 points in an England jersey.
22:02It's easy, this international rugby, isn't it?
22:04Two tries in ten minutes.
22:06There you go, and it just...
22:08And it's jumping out.
22:10Riley.
22:12The Japanese outside centre just jumps out to cause that dog leg.
22:17And because of that, Van Portleet, Fleet can see the gap, holds the ball up.
22:22Ojoomo's through it, and the result from Stewart's boot is two tries for that young man.
22:28A couple of things that struck us there.
22:31I mean, firstly, the skill set of Max Ojoomo, we know all about that.
22:35Freddie Stewart as well, that short kicking game.
22:37He's added a few tools to his toolbox, he's lighter, he's leaner.
22:41We're seeing more dexterity in his attacking game.
22:44If you look at him in the tunnel, whatever, he looks like a second row.
22:47He's great to defuse the bombs that will come in bigger and better games,
22:51because that's the game, you know, kick to retain that ball, he's great underneath those.
22:55But again, to become indispensable, you've got to have these things.
22:59You've got to have the, you know, the little soft hands,
23:01you've got to have that little grubber kick through.
23:04You know, we saw that in abundance in Paris last night,
23:09taking on South Africa.
23:12Jones is a little bit shocked there, I think.
23:15Says his team has to train harder than any other side in the world,
23:18because of that high-possession game they want.
23:20The speed at which they yearn to play the game.
23:23The first opportunity for them to land a blow on England, really.
23:27And that'll do them for starters.
23:29They'll take that, small increments, and that's not great from the...
23:34who tries to go...
23:36Joseph, just give them the ball.
23:39And then throwing the ball away, number 14.
23:45They're going to run the clock a bit here and get themselves on the boards.
23:48And be able to...
23:50...Irikyu Kitahara to line this one up.
23:53Well they're just trying to take the clock down a little bit to get us back up to 15.
23:58You know, to really launch hopefully a comeback as far as they're concerned.
24:03This is the ideal situation to do that, takes a little bit off the clock and obviously gets you on
24:07the board.
24:08And Otto Saito spent the last couple of minutes, a couple of seasons, make your pardon, at Toulouse among the
24:14Galacticos.
24:15Thanks, Martin.
24:15Sharing the nine jersey with Antoine Dupont.
24:17And Paul Carreau come back home with two French top 14 medals for Suntoury.
24:25And Saito gets Japan's first points at Twickenham.
24:3013-3.
24:40Only with the short, and again they're sending Stewart up through the middle to try and...
24:43...back that ball back immediately.
24:45That's his super strength and Itoji has gobbled it up into the 22-ish surges.
24:50A pocket for Dewar.
24:52Dynamic specimen at tight heads.
24:55Downs puts him on the deck.
24:57Van Portfleet around the corner goes Martin, still chucking.
25:03Penalty advantage to England.
25:05Van Portfleet to Coles.
25:08Japan lever the Northampton man into the air.
25:13Genge will have a crack here.
25:16Around the fringe goes Genge.
25:18Feels like a matter of time for England.
25:21Forward, Stewart.
25:23Try time.
25:26A cathartic moment for Freddie Stewart.
25:29In an England jersey for the first time since his early hooking here against Ireland in March.
25:35He's under the sticks.
25:37Japan nonplussed.
25:41Again, Stewart going up for that.
25:43Restart goes to Mario Toze.
25:45He gets it actually.
25:46If Toze passes to his right, I think they're in straight away.
25:49But he takes it on.
25:50Takes the contact.
25:51Recycles the ball.
25:52Well, Jour just gets in there and just says basically stop me.
25:55Don't go too high because he's an absolute pocket battleship.
25:58Martin, we know all about this guy.
26:00Rough as houses.
26:01Just give me that ball.
26:02I'll smash it out to the middle.
26:03And then it could be one or two.
26:05Zigzag left.
26:05Zigzag right.
26:06As it is.
26:07The guy that started the movement actually with the...
26:09You're allowed that.
26:11One, you can attempt it.
26:12One more attempt.
26:13As soon as you hit the ball.
26:14Momentum takes you over.
26:16England have got that word momentum with them.
26:18That three tries in 15 minutes.
26:21A special milestone for George Ford.
26:24That conversion taking him to 500 points as an England player.
26:28Steve Borthwick and Eddie Jones.
26:31Contrasting emotions.
26:38He's had a tough start to the season with Sale.
26:40Conductor and Chief George Ford.
26:42But Cap 109, he's still a major string-puller for Steve Borthwick.
26:49And, again, you're going to have to have it.
26:51Finn Smith, I thought, was outstanding last week,
26:53as most England team would.
26:54But he's the guy that's, for me, the number one
26:56because he just has that ability to see the pass
26:59a little bit better than George.
27:00But you're going to need George Ford there
27:02because you've got so many big games coming up to the World Cup
27:05and during the World Cup.
27:06You've got six, seven to get there.
27:07They're week in, week out.
27:09And you're not going to win it with the 23 that's on the field.
27:12You're going to need that squad.
27:13And I'm sure he's going to be in there anyway.
27:15Six, boys.
27:17Six.
27:17Six.
27:22Samamuru Hanada, one of the Japan's premier talents at Hooker,
27:26spent last season at Nwana Pacifica,
27:28the now, sadly, defunct Super Rugby franchise.
27:30Mostly off the bench Super Rugby Pacific,
27:33but a good experience for him nonetheless.
27:35Tua holding it up to Dylan Riley.
27:39South Africa born, Australia raised, Japan international.
27:42Harada around the corner.
27:45Now Ben Gunter, he's a real beast to try and contain.
27:51Turn number is good, first man.
27:52George Martin snaps it back to Cowan Dickey.
27:55And England looking to detonate off turnover ball.
27:59Pollock back to Martin.
28:01He's playing with real vigour today in Saracen's second row.
28:09There was Cowan Dickey initially there before Martin got his hands on the ball, two good hits.
28:14Stewart delaying the pass, Riley watched Slade all the way.
28:18His opposite number.
28:20No, no, no, leave it.
28:21I can't reward you.
28:26Kevin Dickey relishes this rough stuff.
28:29Almost subterranean stuff on the gain line.
28:32Pollock's hugging the touch line beneath us.
28:34He's waiting for the ball to swing his way, here it comes.
28:37Joseph waiting for Pollock, throwing the dummy on the inside.
28:41What a take from Stewart to keep it alive for England.
28:44Ball movement galore.
28:45Genj.
28:46Oh, here goes the baby rhino.
28:48All the way.
28:53The Bristolian on the stampedes.
28:58Trampling Japan into the dirt.
29:00The baby rhino.
29:03Unshackled.
29:04Unleashed.
29:05Unstoppable.
29:08Well, I think he said everything there, Jamie.
29:11That's a thing of beauty.
29:14The front row forward shouldn't do it.
29:16But there again, that's the initial.
29:17I thought it was Kevin Dickey.
29:19I apologise, Mr. Genj.
29:21You've actually wrecked the ball and then you're on the end of it.
29:23Because that is some run.
29:25Stop me if you can.
29:28Wow.
29:29And that's what you call front foot rugby.
29:31Front foot ball.
29:32It's absolutely brilliant.
29:34From a nine, if you're passing that ball out.
29:36And look at the joy in that.
29:38You're on there to scrimmage, mate.
29:40Not score tries like that.
29:41But I'll leave it there.
29:44I think you'll be buying a rather large round tonight for the forwards.
29:50Kick is good from forwards.
29:5227-3 to England.
29:54And this is a bonus point in the bag.
29:56A right already.
29:58And Ellis Genj doing Ellis Genj things.
30:00Well, this again for a pointer from England.
30:03What do they need to do now?
30:04Because you can almost say the game is won.
30:07You know, Japan will be back up to 15 in two and a half minutes.
30:10But actually, what do you want from a coach?
30:12What do you want from a defensive coach attacking more of the same?
30:14I want to go as far and as high as we possibly can.
30:17You play every moment as if you're 0-0.
30:26Well, so much of the game, Dewey, is about converting these opportunities into 22.
30:31England five visits, four tries.
30:33Japan have yet to get there.
30:35Back of blue, play on.
30:37Well, they've just got to get a hold of the ball and just try to put some movement together.
30:41But again, they've just lost that from the restart.
30:44You've got to set the restart as your third set piece.
30:46Up goes Stewart up the middle and he's one another.
30:50Slay to Joseph.
30:51He's not going to get a hat-trick, is he?
30:53He's burning away.
30:54He's untouchable.
30:5920 minutes into his second cap.
31:02Will Joseph.
31:04A hat-trick at Twickenham.
31:11Dreams don't come bigger.
31:14Test starts.
31:16Don't come any more significant.
31:19I think Eddie Jones' face said it all there.
31:22It's England have brought their chaos to you, my friend.
31:26Not the other way around.
31:27This is a good kick.
31:28Superb kick.
31:29It's well retained as well.
31:31Kick to retain that ball.
31:33And again, it's Stewart again who gets up.
31:36Preset move.
31:36Back to Ford.
31:37Stewart.
31:38Follow that.
31:38Get it.
31:39He's six foot.
31:40What is he?
31:40Six foot four.
31:41He's jumping with that.
31:43Gets the ball.
31:43And verily when the ball's going your way it is.
31:46You can blame anybody, but England are on absolute fire this afternoon.
31:57He's going to strike the pulse from Ford and drop just short.
32:0132 points to three.
32:03Go Joseph was given his debut for England by Eddie Jones.
32:07Australia, July, four and a half years ago, 2022 summer tour.
32:12Now look at him.
32:13And look at Eddie.
32:14Right, I'm going to give you one now, but I know you're Scottish.
32:16What's the quickest hat-trick ever scored by an English...
32:19I don't know, by the way, but I tell you what, it can't be far off, can it?
32:2320 minutes?
32:25You'd never have thought that.
32:26You know, you thought that probably at the end of the game, and here's the sub come in.
32:29And do Japan need to get back up to 15?
32:34Yeah, it's going to be Mike Stolberg, 34-year-old, having a bit of a late-career renaissance in Japan.
32:41South Africa born and raised.
32:43Going to replace Harry Hawkins after that 20-minute red card.
32:479 new seats.
32:49England happy to go to the skies, they know they have the aerial superiority.
32:53Merle's on the chase with this one.
32:55Martin too.
32:55Merle just lost that forwards.
32:58So Japan off unstructured play, what can they create?
33:01Kazuma Ueda showing some interest.
33:04And now Harada down the touchline.
33:06They need the scrum.
33:10They've got to really try everything.
33:12And I just hope the ball sticks, because they have to try these offloads.
33:16They have to go down the blind side.
33:18They've got to try and get a numerical advantage somewhere.
33:21This guy will help.
33:23But he will look up and say, 22 minutes gone, and it's 32 points to three.
33:27Make sure we stay square.
33:29Make sure you put square.
33:29That substitute's been made to Mike Stolberg on.
33:33Just his ninth cap, been in Japan for nearly 11 years.
33:37Made his debut in the Nations Championship win over Italy.
33:40Right back at the start of this competition, first weekend in July.
33:45You can see, though, whereas before, Japan would have given away a lot of
33:49muscle and beef up front to England.
33:52Only seven kgs of a difference.
33:54Thanks in part to Gunther and Dairns and Cornelsen and the rest.
33:58This is their first real set-piece football anywhere near the England half.
34:02Playing with 34% in the first half possession.
34:06Hardly any opportunities to carry.
34:08Just 18 times they've run with the ball today.
34:12Saito lifting it out.
34:13See that first receiver trying to introduce Wade up.
34:16And they've coughed it up on first phase.
34:18Go Jack! Go Jack!
34:31cem taken by Shirt-tails.
34:34Ford and Earl.
34:36Here, here, here!
34:37Now the forward has made more meters in the Nations Championship.
34:40A ball is loose, so Mike Stolberg can get to grips with the leather.
34:45No, no, no! Hands away!
34:47And Japan won their first turnover of the game.
34:50Good refereeing, excellent refereeing.
34:54Clarity tells exactly both sets of forwards what was going on.
34:59Naoto Saito lifting it out to Kipe Ishta.
35:03Not much going on in front of him, and he sliced the kick out on the full.
35:07Nothing at all is coming together for this Japanese side.
35:11I was just going to say, come on, give us a little bit of luck.
35:14A little bit of the thickness of the ball, maybe, and then Bumpf.
35:17Just look at England now.
35:19I'll give you the numbers.
35:20Mother's meeting just going around, what's the call?
35:22Didn't go anywhere.
35:23Thanks for asking.
35:24They're in.
35:26And that's the comparison we've got, and success rate, we'll meet in game 22.
35:30I think it says it all, to be fair.
35:32England have had the ball, they've been clinical, they've been precise.
35:36They've been everything you want.
35:38Japan haven't been.
35:41England made 15 line breaks against the Wallabies six days ago.
35:45Tracking for a whole lot more today.
35:47Lovely shape again.
35:48A sleigh introducing Joseph.
35:50Looking for a quartet of Twickenham tries.
35:56Finished with a flourish.
36:00When he went to bed last night, Will Joseph could not have scripted a better afternoon than this.
36:08Eddie Jones could not have imagined the worst one in his darkest of nightmares.
36:15The worst thing about that is I'm running out of space now to write these things down.
36:19I'm into the second half already.
36:21Didn't quite need to do that finish, but why not, my friend?
36:25Fly like a bird.
36:27Because you're running like a blooming cheater, you're doing everything right.
36:30England are giving him the possession to do it.
36:32Fair dues to the forwards.
36:33The forwards tell you, you know, you're going to win games.
36:36His backs tell you about how many, and at the moment, four he's going to get.
36:40Five, six, seven.
36:42They just, Japan cannot get enough people across to that left wing.
36:46He plays on the right, obviously, that left wing to defend from their point of view.
36:51One way traffic.
36:54We're talking record territory for Will Joseph here.
36:56Five tries the most any England player has managed in a single game.
37:00Rory Underwood, Josh Lucy, Henry Arundel have hit that benchmark.
37:04Joseph could be on for double figures at this rate.
37:07And just, it's a great finish.
37:10I mean, the full-back, Uedar, just stands there.
37:14And I'm thinking, don't stand there, make it, you've got to make a commitment.
37:17You've got to push him towards that touch.
37:19If he then steps, you've got to get your inside man, can hopefully bring him down.
37:23He didn't, he just went off his left bank and surrounded him in a heartbeat.
37:29Four tries, three carries, 107 metres, and six defenders beaten.
37:35You've hardly mentioned Pollock.
37:36You're not allowed to do that, he's not in the contract, come on.
37:40It's all about Will Joseph today.
37:42Four times he's touched the ball, four times he's grounded it over the Japanese line.
37:46And again, that was Stewart going up there, causing a bit of mayhem.
37:50They know he's coming, and this time he gets the ball back once more.
37:54They call it crumbs, don't they, there's a new word for it.
37:59Here's Caden Murley, he's been relatively starved of opportunities,
38:02all the play has come on the opposite side.
38:04Japan defending with 14 here because their debutant Riku Tokito is down and injured,
38:09just at the bottom of your screen.
38:12England's having a snipe with one court plate,
38:15Cole's loping up the middle and the referee's going to stop play just because
38:19there's a serious injury to Tokito and the supporting players were at risk of running him over.
38:27I think that he's been very, very kind to Japan there.
38:35Larry Jones has talked about chaos, he talked about swarming England,
38:39about making the crowd go restless and boo and having the sky fall in.
38:44It has all been sunshine and rainbows for England though.
38:48I know you've got to say certain things to the coach and he'd be the first to do it,
38:51but actually I bet he didn't, which he hasn't done it.
38:53This is the first of the tries, he's looking left, right and centre.
38:56Again, just, thirds can't bring him down, numerous people can't bring him down.
39:01This is a lovely kick for Stewart, beautiful kick from Stewart.
39:04Look at the little bend on that.
39:06Just wait, wait, wait, and that's good skill.
39:09Stewart again, he's been up there, Slade.
39:11Max Ajermo has been again in on the act as well.
39:15You haven't seen him in those couple of clips, but Joseph, run, run, run,
39:18and this time, gliding past him.
39:21It's the old storytellers now.
39:23I beat him in a phone box and he didn't have much more space than that.
39:30Oh, my word, Mr Jones.
39:33I'm going to restart with score for Inlandly Final of the 22, OK?
39:36Rikyu Tokito has been stretched off in a moment,
39:40but have a look at these numbers from Will Joseph.
39:42He's touched the ball four times and he's scored every time he's had it.
39:47Wow.
39:49He's been fantastic for Gloucester this season,
39:52tabletop in Gloucester for most of the season.
39:54He's got an autoimmune condition there, which left him deaf in one ear.
39:58I did read, I did read.
39:59So it's his left ear as well.
40:01So he has a hard time actually hearing the flares on his inside shoulder.
40:04That must be incredibly restricted to start with.
40:07But I did read, he just got used to doing it.
40:09You got used to having just one ear, my goodness me.
40:12But that's his only second cap.
40:14This is his second cap.
40:16And again, it's the people inside, it's the forwards that are, you know,
40:19treading it, making big, big holes.
40:23OK, time back on.
40:23This is a desperately sad end to Rikyu Tokito's international debut.
40:28He's been really impressive for the Japan 7 side,
40:30coached by former England hooker Phil Greening,
40:33who recommended him to Eddie Jones.
40:35They've actually brought on Tianan Kostli,
40:38who's a New Zealand-born back row forward.
40:40They're going to put Kostli on the wing opposite Will Joseph.
40:44Tianan Kostli, he is a bit of a hybrid player, he's played there before.
40:48Henry Pollock, Oskar Jägu style.
40:50He's been here in Japan since his university days,
40:53but it's a big ask for him.
40:54Good luck with that.
40:56That's why Joseph is playing.
40:58Good luck.
41:03Can you see it's going up?
41:05No scrum penalty this time for England.
41:07It's coming back towards Joseph.
41:09Slade, delaying the pass, throwing the dummy,
41:12had Joseph with him, he wanted his fifth.
41:14That would have been a record equaling score.
41:16Pollock gets whacked.
41:19Ben Gunter taking out some frustration.
41:23Cleaving down the golden boy.
41:25Kevin Dickey to within five, helped out by Otoji.
41:29From Portfleet, not a great pass.
41:31Ford has picked it up, penalty advantage England.
41:34Stewart over the top, and Merle for the corner.
41:38And it's time for the left wing to have his say, to have his touch,
41:43and ink his name on this swelling England score list.
41:50But it's just overlap after overlap, hole after hole.
41:53England can go wherever.
41:55Van Portfleet is doing superbly well.
41:57But it's very little restraining him around the side of the ruckermall.
42:01So he's going through gaps.
42:03Balls recycle very, very quickly.
42:05The result is one big long pass from Ford at the Harlequin.
42:11Caden Merle is in.
42:13He's got a bit to go to beat his mate on the other wing.
42:17But every time England gets into that 22, it's the kill zone, the red zone,
42:21anything you want to do, they want to come away with points.
42:23And my goodness me, they certainly done that tonight.
42:26You wonder how Steve Borthard is going to select his back three next week.
42:29The hope is George Furbank is available.
42:31Tommy Freeman has just been rested.
42:33He hasn't had Furbank, Freeman and Faye Woboso available consistently.
42:37When he had them against the Wallabies,
42:39they tore them to pieces in their attack.
42:42Merle is in that chap.
42:44Will Joseph is very much in the conversation now.
42:46How does he go about piecing that together?
42:49And possibly a role for Freddie Stewart too?
42:51You've got to go with, you get feeling, that's why he's a coach,
42:54that's why he's played the big bucks.
42:55But as a supporter, as a fan,
42:57I'm just joyous that they're actually putting all this together.
43:01For me, the midfield combination is so crucial to any team going forward,
43:05especially England.
43:07The special from Ben Gunter out the back door to Shimokawa,
43:10and Japan about to trouble the English 22 for the first time.
43:15Riley puts the kick through, look at the pace of Istat breathing down Stewart's neck.
43:20And he can't quite pick the full-back's pocket.
43:22I was thinking that England forgot now to defend.
43:25They haven't had to.
43:27But that's good from Murley there, this is a big hit from George Martin.
43:33Doesn't probably get his head in the right position, he didn't, that's why he's gone on.
43:36So any school children watching that, that's not the way to do.
43:40Because you can get a serious injury, try and get your head to the left or the right.
43:43It's very difficult sometimes when a guy's coming in a full tilt,
43:46but that's to preserve your health more than anything.
43:50Now England defending probably, I can't remember, the first time.
43:53Definitely just, there you go, just being told, first time in the 22.
43:59This is Japan's first possession in the 22.
44:02And they got the free kick, Warner Derns taps and gets those long levers pumping.
44:09England want to get him on the line, over the line.
44:12Japan go round the corner, George Ford says it's been held up,
44:15and the referee agrees.
44:17One shot, one miss for Japan.
44:19And again, they were a little bit silly there.
44:21I think it was a prop four that actually, or the hooker,
44:23actually just tried to move it just a couple of yards.
44:26England are so good, straight away they move from incredible attack
44:29to brilliant defence, and they pride themselves there.
44:32So he's actually put the ball down on somebody,
44:34that ball stays down on somebody, doesn't get grounded.
44:37It's held up, England now kicking the ball out from their own goal line.
44:48It's a very similar thing to when you are defending.
44:52Sean Edwards used to give a bottle of champagne to the French guys,
44:57who did the best job that day.
45:00I think they'll have similar things like that.
45:02Tienan Costley has a spring-loaded back row to the challenger,
45:06the Boku 4 duo.
45:08Gunter inside to Harada.
45:11Martha Pollock all over him.
45:14Generally Japan play at breakneck pace,
45:16but to do that, all this work around the rock has to be accurate.
45:2060% of the ball coming back between tackle and rock in under three seconds,
45:24which is very quick, but Ellis Gaines is putting those big West Country shoulders
45:29to painful use.
45:30First one on the ball.
45:31And England have pilfered another.
45:33Kevin Dickey's on it.
45:35If England go quickly there'll be a way up the left.
45:37Here it comes.
45:38Ajomo with a step inside to Pollock.
45:41He's got Van Portfleet on his shoulder.
45:43Van Portfleet into the 22.
45:45Grubbering through towards Merle.
45:47He hasn't got the pace to catch that.
45:50Just too much on the kick from Van Portfleet.
45:52But England are annihilating this Japanese breakdown.
45:56Three jackal steals now.
45:58And you can be as fast as you want.
46:00That's a big hit from Gensh.
46:01And that's legitimate.
46:03You either hit him or you miss it or get away a penalty.
46:06And that's...
46:07The trouble is when you see his seven, a big ball carrier like...
46:10Like he is.
46:11Shimon Wakawa.
46:13You've got a situation and...
46:14On another day that falls short and then he's in the corner.
46:18Two options to do.
46:19Either get...
46:19Make contact.
46:21Recycle the ball or chip it through on your toe.
46:24And as nothing's gone wrong for England today,
46:27he decided to do that and of course it hasn't come off.
46:29George Martin.
46:30Very much England's route one man.
46:33He enforced it in the middle.
46:35Van Portfleet to Pollock.
46:36Couldn't find Gensh.
46:37Is quick enough to get back but...
46:39Can't do much with it.
46:41Stolberg all over him.
46:43Mitoji.
46:43Another turnover.
46:44He made three of those against the Wallabies.
46:47England captain finding his best form again.
46:49How does he do it?
46:50Because again he's just running back as a normal trailing man.
46:54Gets hold of somebody and then just gets his arm in it and rips the ball.
46:58He's amazing and that rest in the summer, he had to have a rest.
47:02He's come back rejuvenated, re-energised.
47:06Unbelievable.
47:09Well there's Will Joseph's big brother.
47:11What a day for the whole Joseph family.
47:13Jonathan of course scored many a try.
47:16Got a hatchet against Scotland.
47:17Don't think he ever got four.
47:19Will Joseph might have had the family bragging rights
47:22but he's got about 60 odd caps to make up on his brother yet.
47:25Great former centre.
47:27Steal from Warner Derns.
47:28First English line-out that goes awry.
47:30Have a look at Gunter here.
47:31Bosch made a beeline for George Ford.
47:36Costly around the corner.
47:38All on his own.
47:41Naoto Saito.
47:43Warner Derns been in Japan since his teenage years.
47:46Dar Grant coaching the old NEC Green Rockets.
47:51Harada through the middle.
47:55Takeuchi.
47:57Kitahara.
48:00Saito back to Cornelson.
48:04His dad Greg scored a quarter to tries of his own for the Wallabies against the All Blacks back in
48:10the 70s.
48:13This is the most sustained attack Japan have had.
48:17Highest number of phases in the match by a distance.
48:19Kitahara.
48:20Harada.
48:21Better hands this time to Samisoni Tuak.
48:24Looking for Costly on the edge.
48:26Pollock thundering into him.
48:28Costly takes him down.
48:30Goes again.
48:33Kitahara.
48:34Cornelson.
48:36England coming back off sides.
48:39And Kitahara taking this to the line.
48:41Taking the punishment from the forwards.
48:44Darren's having a goal.
48:46Finally some fluency for Japan.
48:48Saito.
48:49Clever switchblade.
48:50Cornelson.
48:50Harada.
48:51Pollock had to get the timing right and did.
48:54Ball is loose.
48:55And it's a penalty to Japan.
48:57Playing the man with all the ball.
49:00Pollock done for an early tackle in fact.
49:02Looked like he'd...
49:04He'd tied that all right on the chase.
49:06Saito unsurprisingly tapping.
49:08And Warner Derns.
49:09England get very low to chop the big red wood down.
49:13Here's Stahlberg into Itoji.
49:16Dakiuchi.
49:21Saito whipping the cattle around the corner.
49:23Get to the right he says.
49:25He's found his co-captain in Derns.
49:27As close as Japan have been.
49:29Penalty coming their way if they need it.
49:33They are going to need it.
49:35And they're not going to stand on ceremony.
49:38Well that is what Japan can do when they keep hold of the ball.
49:41Warner Derns taps and goes to the line.
49:44And he's grounded it.
49:47The co-captain dragging Japan off the canvas.
49:52He's such a big player for them.
49:55And he's at least got Japan something to show for their toil before the half-time whistle.
50:03Three minutes to go.
50:06It's the switch ball.
50:08It's initially Pollock coming back well.
50:11Was it...
50:13I think Alex Coles was doing something that he shouldn't do.
50:16But there's the try given totally right.
50:18Couldn't see from our initial angle.
50:20But he was and he just said nothing else is going right.
50:22I'll have to do it myself.
50:26Naoto Saito adds the extras.
50:29Japan on to ten points.
50:33First meaningful attack of any substance.
50:47The Warner Derns super rugby champion this year with the Hurricanes.
50:52He's a mighty specimen.
50:54And probably Japan's most important player over the past six, twelve months.
50:59Six tries in his past eight test matches now.
51:04And even a losing cause as it would seem today is influence telling.
51:21Japan coming back into the game.
51:23Six percent possession in the last ten minutes.
51:26And that's a good thing that Eddie Jones or one of the...
51:28I suppose the glimmering lights that he can hold up the half-time talk.
51:32But it's 42 points to ten.
51:33And that's with Ford missing five conversions.
51:36So he could be over the 50 mark there.
51:38But again the game has gone as a contest.
51:41But actually now it's up to England to sort of say come back in the second half.
51:44It's nil, nil, off we go.
51:46Equally for Japan they've got to get something out of it.
51:48As with the Dynas side.
51:49That's a penalty because Japan can't defuse that George Ford bomb.
51:54A little over a minute of the first half remaining.
51:57Imagine this will go into the corner.
52:00I don't think Ford's going to kick three, surely not.
52:03And get that look from Genge again.
52:05You want.
52:07This will be a nice way to finish off what has been an unbelievably good half from England.
52:13That's the kick to England.
52:14Well that's just a bad mistake.
52:17From Ouida.
52:19As a 15, that's going to be your bread and butter, you won't end the pressure.
52:23Here they go.
52:24The crowd are up now.
52:25They won't want to finish off this rather cold night.
52:31In South West London.
52:34Seven tries in the bag.
52:36Is there time for an eighth?
52:37Yes there is.
52:38They rev the accelerator.
52:39And there is absolutely no stopping that.
52:44Overgo England.
52:45And it's Ben Earl who comes up with the pill.
52:50Eight first half tries.
52:52The Chariot.
52:54Supercharged.
53:02I think the Japanese half-time talk will be character building for a few of the younger players.
53:09But they've just been blown away by a big white tide.
53:18Not many mistakes from the England side in that first 40.
53:22Penn's conceded England have given four away.
53:25Japan three.
53:26So that's pretty good for England.
53:40It's a better pick from George Ford.
53:43England approaching half a century.
53:45As the half-time whistle sounds.
53:48In cruise control here.
53:49Thanks largely to the work of the man making his return to international rugby.
53:54Will Joseph.
53:55What a return it's been.
53:57Four and a half years.
53:58Between cap number one and cap number two.
54:01Everything he's touched has turned to gold for England.
54:05Four tries for Joseph.
54:06Eight for England.
54:07They're up and running here.
54:09And they lead Japan by 49 points to ten.
54:20Welcome back everybody.
54:21England in charge here against Japan.
54:24Eight first half tries to one.
54:27Half of them scored by Will Joseph.
54:29And his famous elder brother Jonathan.
54:31He's here today enjoying his younger sibling's performance.
54:34He was actually interviewed on the big screen.
54:36And showed that he was gutted.
54:38But he didn't score four tries for England.
54:40He didn't get a hat-trick against Scotland nine years ago.
54:43Called Qatar Cup 2017.
54:45But never managed to get four at Twickenham.
54:48In an England shirt.
54:49And now younger brother Will has that piece of family history to his name.
54:55Japan have made a half-time change.
54:57The enormous 130 kilogram of Petit Helu has come on.
55:01Tight head prop for Shihei Tagyuji.
55:03As Eddie Jones tries to salvage something.
55:07From a contest that has long since been over.
55:23Japan steering down the barrel at Twickenham.
55:25Japan steering down the barrel at Twickenham.
55:26And they get something, something positive to take with them.
55:30Up to Edinburgh and Scotland.
55:32England on the final round of regular fixtures next weekend.
55:36England, you'd imagine, having not made any subs at half-time,
55:39will be emptying the bench fairly soon.
55:42See Borepict getting minutes, giving opportunities.
55:45Positivity.
55:46Into a team that's been through a lot over the past 12 months.
55:50England have kicked five contestables today, that's the fifth of them.
55:54They've won back all prior to that.
55:56And they almost took that one too.
55:59Yeah, I think Borepict got, like you said,
56:01they will offload the bench, whether there was one after 60 minutes or so.
56:05Because there's nothing, you couldn't have a better platform
56:07for the youngsters on the bench.
56:11To actually enjoy themselves a little bit.
56:13It'll still be serious when they get on,
56:14because obviously there's going to be a repercussion from Japan
56:17after that soulless first half.
56:19Just one try.
56:22I'd love to have heard what he said in that change.
56:24But again, they're a proud nation, they will come back.
56:27But you want to challenge, I want to see this bench going on.
56:3060 minutes, 65 minutes, go on and then rip it up.
56:34Let's do what the first team has done in that first half.
56:37Bind!
56:38Opiti Hillu, a giant Tonga-born tight head up against Elis Genj.
56:44What a free kick from Genj first up.
56:46So here come Japan, Samasoni Tua, who beat six tacklers in Cardiff last weekend.
56:51Thank you, welcome.
56:56Conelsoni Tua, same way again.
56:59Kitahara holding it up for Ueda the full-back.
57:05Kitahara standing narrow to Itoji, who's England's top tackler today.
57:09It's a dozen of them now for the skipper.
57:16Kitahara, Harada, transfers untidy but no knock on.
57:20Kitahara has to kick beyond the head of George Ford.
57:24He's been bamboozled by the ball here.
57:26Istah went in, he lost it forwards.
57:28Now Freddie Stewart can lope into the collision.
57:32Yes!
57:33One point!
57:34One point!
57:35We'll get you, Seeds.
57:37That's a glimmer of the chaos that Eddie Jones pledged to bring.
57:40Yeah, yeah, tight.
57:42Not that it's done Japan a whole lot of good.
57:44That's Foots.
57:45Isheida thought he had a crock roll then, actually.
57:47The right winger, the referee was there, he's given nothing.
57:50I've got the shoulder for the knock.
57:51Murley leading the chase here, he's got the height on Ishtah,
57:54who's only 5'6'' in his studs.
57:58No!
58:00Saito to Helu, look out for him on the carry.
58:03Through a pocky fordure.
58:04Lovely hands as well from the big prop.
58:06We'll see that a bit later.
58:08Tua up the middle.
58:11Kitahara.
58:12Dylan Riley, plenty of white jerseys in front of him.
58:16The ball has been jolted from his grasp.
58:18Back goes Slade to sweep up.
58:20Ford will see space in the backfield here.
58:2350-22 is available for England.
58:26Skipping tantalisingly away from Ueda.
58:29World-class.
58:31You give George Ford that much turf to Ema,
58:34and you're dust.
58:36Oh, Murley's gone quickly to Genge!
58:39It's not going to count, so just in front of that five metre mark.
58:44In fact, no, someone's touched the ball before Murley took it.
58:48The player touches the ball, so it's not a Japanese player.
58:51If another player touches the ball, you can't take the line out quickly.
58:55That's why you're always told in opposition and your venue said,
58:58touch the ball quickly for that not to happen.
59:01It is a law, and that's something the referee is telling they want to get going now.
59:06But again, a superb kick from George Ford at 15-22.
59:11If you kick it that far from your own half into the 22, you get the throwing as well.
59:16So, as England left that first half with a try, catch and go.
59:21In Japan we're way too early there, Warner Derns attacking the lifters.
59:27Now Cowan Dickey goes, England players still scooping themselves off the canvas here.
59:31It's OJ to Martin, that's 50.
59:36The Saracens' hitman, with his shoulder mended, dishing out the punishment.
59:43And he's been a handful today.
59:45I wouldn't call him the most silkiest of skilful players,
59:48but I tell you what, he's right.
