Half-time: 10-0

Reserves: 16 Hiroki Yuhara, 19 Michael Leitch, 20 Koji Wada.
Try: Holani; Conversion: Arlidge; Penalty Goal: Arlidge.
SAMOA: 15 Lolo Lui (capt), 14 Mikaele Pesamino (22,Uarotafou Setu 63), 13 Josh Tatupu, 12 Jamie Helleur, 11 Sinoti Sinoti, 10 Josh Keil (20 Fa'atalatala Fagasoala 2nd Half 40), 9 Kahn Fotuali'i, 8 Richard Muagututia (19 Falemiga Selesele 62), 7 Afa Aiono, 6 Ofisa Treviranus, 5 Maselino Paulino (18 Levi Asifa'amatala 63), 4 Simaika Mikaele, 3 Anthony Perenise, 2 Andrew Williams, 1 Logovi'i Mulipola.
Try: Fotuali'i; Conversion: Lui; Penalty Goals: Lui (2).
Scoring sequence (Japan's score shown first): 2min-pen Japan, Arlidge-3-0, 7min-try Japan, Holani; conv. Arlidge-10-0, 16min-drop goal Japan, Arlidge (missed), 25min-pen Samoa, Keil (missed), Half-time, 45min-pen Samoa, Lui-10-3, 54min-pen Samoa, Lui-10-6, 57min-pen Japan, Arlidge (missed), 69min-try Samoa, Fotuali'I; conv. Lui-10-13.
In bad conditions with strong wind and rain, Japan lost a close game against youth-based Samoa, whose key players belonging to European clubs were absent. Japan led the first half (10-0) with a penalty by Arlidge and a try by Holani Ryu Koriniasi (and a conversion). However, in the second half, Samoa was awarded two penalties to narrow the gap (10-6). In the 19th minute, with a margin of four points, Japan earned a chance to win. They pushed a maul formed in front of the Samoan goal-line. Kikutani went for his favourite side attack, but pushed out of the touch-line just before the goal. In the 29th minute, Samoa scored a come-from-behind try. Japan had enough players in their defence, but the forwards could not handle Samoa's sharp steps. Although players share roles in modern rugby, I find it very regrettable because there was enough time for the backs to return to their positions.
