Obviously there's a huge danger of a let down from the SA game both mentally and physically but I don't think that result was a fluke, I think Japan are a lot better than they've been made out to be, and the Scots are significantly worse than the Springboks
At 6-1 it seems worth the risk, any thoughts?

Japan played their final in their first game. Expect the Scots to hammer them today.
scots to play off set pieces and keep the ball in the pack,japan put a massive effort in to beat the boks,no way they`ll have the same energy today on a short turnaround,i fully expect the scots to to cover the h/cap,this is Scotland however so the stakes will be small
Danno - Romania won't be up to much but they are priced accordingly. You could also consider +19 on the 1st half cap.

first half cap may be the way to go. you could do the match cap and look to be cruising only to have france switch off in last 1/4 with a win in the bag.
always a danger with big h'caps anyway but even more so with france involved.
the smaller pitch should help the japs and scotland hardly ever smash someone, fancy **** on the handicap
The betting on this match has me flummoxed as it's a fact of life that Scotland always choke on the big occasion.Even if they do manage to win (which i don't think they will) just can't see them beating the 14.5 handicap.
Yes but I thought you were making reference to their last game which was played at Brighton.
don`t all rugby pitches have to be the same size???

have done scotland pen or drop goal fsp for a cheap thrill, £30 at 5/4
Brighton looked small. Pitches have to be a certain minimum but the footie grounds are usually a good bit smaller than traditional rugby grounds, especially Twickers and Murrayfield as mentioned.
Scotland will keep this tight for the first 20 mins (or even first half) chipping away with penalties due to bigger pack / tier 1 team playing tier 3 team etc (no R Gray is a giveaway).............. so the Scots to restore order but points under 51.5 (books)....... should be the call .......... hopefully good trade out options with the u/o 50.5 on here .............. can see a scotland 3 pointer being the first scoring play

lol, pity I didnt go bigger!
This Lacey ref seems very bias towards Scotland here.
Always slightly annoying when your bet lands in the first couple of minutes 
I thought there was a forward pass and a knock on that he let go in Scotlands last attack.
japan look as poor in this game as they were excellent against south africa
laid off my match odds bet but looks like I'm going to lose the handicap bet.

that penalty looked straight out,they`ve been blowing for the video ref all tourney,why not then???
Steve Borthwick and Eddie Jones sure have that Japan pack well drilled at the set pieces
looks like Scots will just kick their way to victory
If Japan can score about 4 tries they will probably win. Scotland don't know what the try line is
no idea why scotland didnt go the corner with a man advantage, so negative and its cost them big terrirot
Scot gameplan seems to be just to win the game by any margin
PMSL at that scotland prop, driving sideways right in front of the ref
games gone as expected, scotland are absolutely awful
if Japan can cut out the silly errors, they'll be a real handful
Why the hell is that a Scottish ball - Japan were attacking - all they did was hold it up. Ridiculous.
Japan at least trying to attack every time they get the ball. Breath of fresh air compared to a lot of international dross we often see.
Scotland are dire. No wonder they are making no progress at rugby with the way they play. Japan are on the right track, the way they play encourages speed and skill and their players are definitely improving
Lacey worked Scotland down the length of the field to the boos of the crowd. Bansai !
very brave there, got his head in front so he could drive the player backwards
kamikaze tackle

lmao what a butchering from scotland there, they are so bad going forward its painful to watch, no pace or skill
Scotland couldn't be getting more help from Lacey.

Japan still 5-1
Amazing value ,only 5 points down

The Scots chipping away as expected, 12-0 would have been the perfect h/t scenerio........... Japan are certainly a very cohesive, high energy and skillful team executing unexpected plays with great precision and a great fluidity in the backline............. brings back memories of one of the best values bets in the last world cup: Japan + 12.5 to beat Tonga (put it up as a max bet........it was a loser......... dont know how.......... 31-18 or similiar)...... one of the best value (loosing bets) of all time!! I think Scotland will look to play this one out in a controlled fashion....... thats why I didnt get involved in hcps .......... cant see Scots interested in bonus point 4 tries....... perhaps one eye on denying the Japs a loosing bonus point (but even that not high priority)
strange theyre kicking pens now instead of going for the try
exactly, their kicking is woeful, makes sense to just go to the corner everytime
It is strange when they took the saffers on at every opportunity. Scotland look vulnerable.
Japan running out of puff
Scotland coast it from here I'm afraid

Nothing left in the tank. A git-wrapped victory unfortunately. All we will heat is about how great Scotland were when in reality Japan needed a few more days rest.
Just been playing that try back in super slo-mo (so don't know if it was discussed in commentary) but the Scottish player had his foot in touch as he placed the ball for the try.
Verdict: no score.
Why no TMO?

shouldn't that have been a yellow
same offence as the Japanese yellow.

yep, should have been. rubbish refereeing. have to be consistent if you give the one in the first half

I thought the same but didn't re wind to see
Clearly the fatigue factor is too much to overcome, Japan outplayed anyway

a shame for japan, dont deserve this kicking, totally gassed
at least the Japanese have 10 days off before their next game
shame really..totally mullered this half
looks like the outright w/o Japan market will have to be put on hold

How can that be Japan scrum? they knocked it out
Does anybody know lowest price matched on Japan in play
thank you for posting if you do

In fact 4.2 was my lowest lay. May have gone a touch lower
The problem for Japan is that there are 5 teams in each group which makes it impossible to have fair scheduling.
With 4 or six in a group all teams can play on the same days with the same rest time in between. I think the authorities need to
re-think the set up.

i've never seen so many japanese supporters at the ground and on here?....what happened to supporting the HOME nations?
very good from Scotland. could not have asked much more from them.
