Express 4/10: “Error-prone night for the squad bolter who looked unsure which way to turn at times. Kicked terribly.”
Rugby Pass 6/10: “Impressive against Argentina when he brought unpredictability to the proceedings, he was way more measured here and it was his 50th-minute kicking away of possession that rankled with the booing crowd.”
Mail Online 4/10: “Kicked away a lot of possession and failed to inject the tempo to break up Japan’s defensive structure. Poor day at the office.”
