Japan opened the scoring with Tanaka's penalty in the 17th minute of the first half. The team braved the weight difference and held on. However, Scotland scored a come-from-behind try in the 20th minute. They scored three more tries by the beginning of the second half to widen the gap 3-24. Japan did their best, too. In the 20th minute of the second half, Fujiwara squeezed a try into the corner from an open play in the right. Tanaka successfully added difficult conversion, which got the spectators excited. Japan was hanging on at 9-24, but conceded two more tries near the end of the second half and that was the end of them. London-based newspapers including The Sunday Times and The Observer wrote highly of Japan: “Japan gave Scotland a hard time with their brilliant fighting spirit, strategies and tactics, and speedy moves. They did their best, brought excitement to the game, and had the spectators captivated.” Coach Hibino was already fired up for the coming matches, and said: “Now we have the prospect of winning game 3 onwards.”
