Report

Well that certainly wasn't part of the plan.

Nothing short of full points at home on Sunday will be enough to maintain any kind of title challenge. A top three finish is of paramount importance, but let's not drift out of the title race when we have a real chance to add to our trophy cabinet.

ja ja ja ja ja... you couldn't beat Oita and you dare call yourselves contenders?!!

The thirteen match unbeaten run before Sunday, the fact we're still the least defeated team in the league, our crop of some of the best young Japanese players in the country, and the third tightest defence in the league all make us contenders.

Whether we've got the balls to see it through is another matter.
