- 12' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Taishi Nozawa suffering a number of foals already.
- 17' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
