This match is described in the headline of a newspaper: ‘England's last minute goal turned the game around'. Once again, Japan missed an opportunity for giant-killing following the match in 1971 when Japan lost 3-6.
In the 37th minute of the second half, England was leading by two points (13-15) and was approaching their goal. Japan's flanker Ishizuka kicked the ball towards the touch-line in order to get out of trouble, but the ball went to the centre of the ground instead. The receiver of the ball dropped it, Ishizuka, on the way to tackle him, picked the ball up and wing Mori scored a try, then Matsuo added a conversion to turn the game around, 19-15. This happened when only three minutes were left of the match. With only one minute remaining, lock Hatayama made a kick to end the game but it was judged as no-touch. The opponent's wing, in an attempt to counterattack, jumped into the corner and scored a try. A conversion was added and the game was turned around again to19-21. Although they lost, this was surely one of the best games Japan had ever played.
