“Thank God we won. We have been taking pride in being the world's best in rugby. However, we had a very hard time against Japan, who we had seen as a pushover. In order to maintain our position as the top, we need to learn from Japan and restart practising from scratch.” Welsh captain reflected on his team harshly and praised Japan in his speech.
The score 10 years ago was 14-62. This time, Japan added 10 points to their score and lost only half as much points as then. Moreover, we didn't just take in a cross-game, but locked in a neck-and-neck match for 80 minutes as coach Hibino described. From the 20th minute of the second half, after the margin was widened to 17-29, a dark shadow started to be cast on Japan, Japan launched a fierce counterattack and tried for three tries in a row. Japan could upset the game if they could score a try and a conversion. The backs, which had been supported in many moments in the previous four matches, showed the ‘for the team' spirit. They proceeded to the right from a maul and let Hirao cut in, then formed a ruck centring Fujita. They stirred up the left side this time. Tanifuji dived into the corner to try in the 22nd minute. The backs' tenacity encouraged a forward collapse. Chida went for the side and ran 35m to score a try in the 31st minute. With two minutes remaining, Japan connected the pass from Oyagi to Fujita from a short lineout, and scored a try between left and centre. The forwards sprang back to life and rampaged. Kanaya, who was playing an unaccustomed role as a winger, did a good job in defence especially with tackling. The backs' defence, physically led by Kanaya, contributed to closing the gap to within five points. “We have been practising for this day. We brought out our best, and we are satisfied,” captain Matsuo's words expressed everything.
