The first match on 10 September at North Harbour Stadium in Auckland was a challenge to France.
In the 3rd minute of the match, a France's player scored a try after getting up with the ball from a ruck, which Japan should have overcome. It was an unlucky loss for Japan. After that, in the 11th minute, a pass from stand-off Arlidge was intercepted and Japan allowed France to outscore them by 14 points. But Japan was patient. They passed the ball around at a high tempo, and hooker Horie and flanker Leitch tackled to prevent more loss.
In the 7th minute of the second half, stand-off Arlidge scored a try 25-18. In the 16th minute, Arlidge scored a penalty goal to make it 25-21, narrowing the margin to 4 points. Even while head coach John Kirwan had professed “We are going to win against Tonga and Canada”, he had actually continued analyzing focusing on France. In this sense, the result was as planned, however, bench players, hooker Aoki and lock Ohno were not subbed in in a crucial scene and Japan lost a win which could be expected.
However, head coach Kirwan was positive. “Players used their full power. They played attacks well, and showed they could defend well too. I guess the audience in New Zealand saw that Japan was a good team.”
