Before this match, Japan and Romania were 16th and 18th in the world rankings respectively. As Japan was going to rank within the Top 10 in 2015, they definitely had to win this match even though it was an away game. At the beginning of the match, Japan was under pressure from Romania's powerful scrums, who “are equivalent to us in the ability of hitting, but then they push collectively when chasing” (lock Hitoshi Ohno).
However, Japan was able to play at almost their own pace except for scrums on the day.
Even though Japan kept the ball overwhelmingly, they also conceded penalties in the scrums. The score in the first half kept changing with penalty kicks by both teams.
Yet Japan increased the pace just before the half-time break to attack the front of Romania's goal. After passing the ball from scrum half Fumiaki Tanaka to stand-off Kosei Ono, and centre Harumichi Tatekawa, number 8 Takashi Kikutani, who was on the edge of the left touchline, received the ball and scored a try. The first half ended with a widened gap at 17-9.
Also in the second half, even though Japan sometimes conceded penalty tries in scrums on the back foot, they kept their attacking rugby style until the end, scoring two tries, to get a valuable win in an away game 34-23.
This win against Romania was historic as it was the first game qualified for a cap in 26 matches against European national teams since the match against Wales in 1973.
