Scoring sequence (Japan's score shown first): 6min-pen NZ U23, Watt-0-3, 11min-try NZ U23, Walsh; conv. Watt-0-8, 19min-try Watt; conv. Watt (missed)-0-11, 25min-drop goal, Brown-0-14, 30min-try NZ U23, Cossey; conv. Watt-0-19, 33min-try NZ U23, Cossey; conv.

Watt-3-32, 52min-try NZ U23, Cossey; conv. unknown (missed)-3-35, 58min-try NZ U23, Watt; conv. unknown -3-40, 61min-try NZ U23, Watt; conv. unknown-3-45, 70min-try NZ U23, Walsh; conv. unknown (missed)-3-48, 73min-try NZ U23, Walsh; conv. unknown (missed)-3-51, 78min-try NZ U23, Pickering; conv. unknown-3-56.
The intensity of New Zealand's play in this final game couldn't even compare to preceding games. In the 36th minute of the first half, flanker Ozaki held the ball charged by scrum-half Saito and scored a try. That was the only try for Japan. On the other hand, they conceded 12 tries to the NZ Colts and were badly defeated. When in defence, tackling did not work. When in attack, making a dash did not work. Japan was completely outmatched, and we are not talking about scores alone. The All Blacks Colts brought out their best in this match as this was their final game. We learnt from the three matches that Japanese rugby has a long way to go especially from an international perspective. We need continued research and efforts to play rugby with sufficient speed and physical strength to keep running right through the 80 minutes.
