Are they resting Horie, to save him for the Scotland match? I sure hope he's not injured!

This is a potential banana skin for Japan. They must go out and play their natural past tempo game. Be brutal on defence and attack when it's on. A bonus point should be considered only when the game is won. With Scotland starting to look like they're coming right - this is a very important game. Plus - as a kiwi I'm sure the ABs would rather face Japan than Ireland - and the local crowd obviously wants a QF against the three time winners and two-time defending World Champions.

I'd rather see a SF against the three time winners and two-time defending World Champions, but that might be asking a bit much. I'll be happy to take any QF spot.
