Scoring sequence (Japan's score shown first): 8min-pen Japan, Morita (missed), 13min-pen Canada, Daypuk (missed), 19min-drop goal Japan, Morita-3-0, 23min-pen Japan, Goromaru (missed), 40+2min-pen Japan, Goromaru (missed), Half-time, 49min-pen Canada, Daypuk (missed), 52min-pen Canada, Daypuk-3-3, 56min-pen Canada, Daypuk (missed), 58min-try Canada, Henderson; conv. Daypuk-3-10, 60min-drop goal Japan, Morita (missed), 77min-try Canada, van Camp; conv. Daypuk (missed)-3-15, 82min-try Japan, Otukolo; conv. Morita-10-15.
Japan lost a close game by 10-15. They scored one try while conceding two to Canada. Japan is about 30 points behind the top countries in the world. Although Canada was an opponent they should have won to, I would like to applaud Japan's defence, which conceded only two tries, as well as the fact that the point differential was only five in this close match. We must go step by step with reinforcement of the team. As captain Miuchi regretfully said after the match, “we wanted to play a more neck-and-neck game”, Japan scored the try too late. It happened in the extra time of the second half, but as the game ended there, the try did not affect the result. Canada, with mauls by their large forwards as the core of their play, tried to break Japan's defence but it was solid and withstood the attacks. Coach Hagimoto regretted that his men “could not take advantage of the open space”. Failing to score a try at an early stage had a lasting impact to the end.
