It was a really disappointing night for the set-piece coaches, Paul O'Connell and John Brogarty.
And that seven points kind of set the tone.
Even the second Japanese try emanates from a crooked throw by Ronan Keller, five metres out on their own line.
The two three-pointers emanate from line-out malfunctions.
So you could almost say Japan's entire 20 points came from malfunctioning Irish line-outs.
on top of which, you know, it's stymie momentum.

I wish all grounds could be like the McDonald, Jefferson Stadium in Newcastle, in that, you know, you could just wander around anywhere.
You could just make up your own mixed zone, a very little, you know, heavy-handed security or anything like that.
Lovely little altercation when Sam Miller was telling about how he'd
I didn't realise when I first went into the mix zone, Nathan, that like Sam Miller and the Japanese dressing room was way down to the left corridor and the Irish dressing room was way down to the right corridor.

Billy Bone, only 20, was probably the coolest of the four.
