Scoring sequence (Japan's score shown first): 7min-pen Aus. Colts, Clark-0-3, 13min-try Aus. Colts, Ryan; conv. Clark (missed)-0-7, 25min-try Aus. Colts, Rathie; conv. Clark (missed)-0-11, 32min-try Aus. Colts, Holben; conv. Clark-0-17, Half-time, 42min-pen Japan, Yamaguchi-3-17, 50min-try Japan, Fujimoto; conv.

The latest “Rugby World” (the official journal of the British Rugby Union) ran various opinions on rough stuff and referring. Violent plays during international test matches were also criticised. These tell us about the cutthroat situations that occur in current international rugby. Japan finally had an opportunity to go neck and neck with the other countries in severe international games. Although the match at Hanazono was an extreme case, we seem to be confronted with a choice: whether to accept the current way of international games as it is and challenge it from a positive perspective, or to deny such bestial rugby and lock ourselves in the utopia by ourselves.
