Japan played their last match in Sydney. They gave the host country a hard time, which was also a potential champion, and showed spirit. Japan's fighting spirit forced Australia to lose the initiative. Okidoi scored a 40-metre penalty in the 1st minute of the game. Kutsuki scored a try in the 12th and 24th minute. Japan outshot Australia at some stages and got the spectators excited. The second half was also exciting to watch. Okidoi scored a drop goal from almost 50 metres away, and Fujita scored a try. The ball went here and there in the open field, while Japan tried to catch up with Australia. However, Australia, though they played rather passively, displayed difference in technique and physical strength at the end of the day, and exploited Japan's weak points to come from behind. They even scored two tries through a great combination of forwards and backs, with only two minutes remaining on the clock. “This is what we can do when we are committed,” said coach Miyaji in a satisfied tone despite the loss, because what Japan was aiming for as a team was to defeat the United States, and to put up a strong battle against England and Australia.
