Japan tried to get a win in the World Cup for the first time in 20 years. Since Canada won against Tonga, this was an important match to give Japan the possibility to the final tournament by winning. Both teams kept and moved the ball from each other, having a see-saw style battle.
In the first half, Japan led 17-7 with tries by hooker Horie and wing Endo. However, Japan made costly mistakes consecutively in the second half. Their throw forward, direct touch, etc. directly led to losses one after another, and in the 20th minute of the second half, the gap was narrowed to 17-15. Then, finally, energetic lock Hitoshi Ohno and flanker Toetuʻu Taufa were subbed in and aggressive plays by these two players raised Japan's momentum. After they scored penalty goals to make it 20-15, in the 33rd minute of the second half, stand-off Arlidge scored a penalty goal to make it 23-15.
The gap was 8 points with 7 minutes remaining. Everybody thought Japan was most probably going to win. However, this 8-point gap might have influenced the psychology of Japan players. Their movement became stiff and they met Canada's strong attack. Japan conceded a try, and just before the end of the game, Canada made the score tie with a penalty goal.
Japan made a tie by scoring in the World Cup four years ago, but this time they were no better than the loser. Japan must have keenly felt the challenge to win for a team who was without a win for twenty years. The difficulties at the beginning continued until the end. There were lots of points to reflect on such as scrums that were not well-formed, however “We hope this match will lead to something good in the the next one,” said captain Kikutani. Japan needed to closely examine the details of thier 1 draw and 3 losses, and summarize it to prevent them from repeating the same failure again before starting to challenge for the next World Cup.
