This was a good game to watch, nightmare start for Aus but they adapted well. Lolesio’s kicking sure was decisive. England look to have a strong team though and will be favourites for the next two games.

Hopefully this will help Chinese residents in Japan reunite with family or get back to their homes and lives in Japan. It’s clearly not about opening the floodgates to hoards of Chinese tourists to Ginza again like the bad old days.

@Alan Harrison agree the old Harajuku station was a bit unique and a focal point for the area. Now replaced by something generic, perhaps they could have done some discreet upgrades keeping the feel of the original. A lot of Tokyo is like that unfortunately, tear down the old and replace with something functional, efficient but bland and forgettable.

but as usual no one will be bothered to get out and vote when the time comes in this socialist state
