SHIZUOKA, Japan: Japan defence coach Scott Hansen had some simple advice for his back three ahead of an expected barrage of high balls from Ireland in Saturday's Rugby World Cup clash:"Just relax and catch it."
"Just relax and catch it," Hansen told a news conference when asked for his advice to the rearranged back three. "Collectively we've looked at that. For us, it's not just on one man but at the end of the day, just relax and catch it. Play footie."Winger Kotaro Matsushima, who scored a hat-trick in the Pool A opener and keeps his place on the right wing, said he was also ready to be tested in the air at the Shizuoka Stadium.
"Even if we lose a ball, by having a connection with the player next to you, we could end with a positive outcome. But first, the player who catches the ball must make sure that he catches it properly."
