The game was close in the first half: Japan's Yamaguchi and Ito scored a try each, 8-12. However, Japan conceded seven tries in the second half and was roundly defeated. The cause of the defeat was that Japan could not gain possession. The opponent dominated the ball especially in mauls. NZU's mauling evolved from a way to gain possession to a weapon for the forwards. The harder the backs defended, the more the side attack from a maul was required. In this aspect, their mauling has improved since Japan's New Zealand tour. Three principles of getting close, deployment, and continuation can be achieved only when we gain ball possession. All other tactics and techniques are also based on the principle of “keeping the ball alive”. We need to focus on studying the maul as a tactic for the Japanese at a basic level.
