Now the Anthem for Japan........ very serious faces.

Aww, a card held up by Japanese fan.... WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU.... LOVELY!

Dear me Radio Jem. So sorry to hear you have a family problem and hope it's nothing too serious. Of course you must concentrate your attention on your family.

I will give the scores.... but I think everyone knows by now that I know absolutely nothing about the rugby rules!!

I'm just wanting to help for this match.

I'm sorry, something has cropped up.

I'm not going to be able to be here for the USA v JAPAN game, at least at the beginning.

If I can't get back on, I will post a Match Report tomorrow.
