In the 6th minute, Japan, who had plenty of time to attack into the United States territory from a kick-off, attacked the inner space confidently from a lineout, passed the ball from hooker Shota Horie to number 8 Takashi Kikutani, vice caption and full-back Ayumu Goromaru and wing Yoshikazu Fujita rapidly, then wing Fujita scored the opening try. Full-back Goromaru also scored a goal to lead 7-0. With the opening try by a young player, about which was remarked “It was good that the entire team passed around the ball in a good way, and we were able to call in a positive way” (Fujita), Japan seemed to be trying to ride the waves all at once, but the United States took over the pace of the match for 15 minutes after that. In the 5th and 20th minutes, the United States scored two tries and Japan was behind by 5 points. Yet as captain and wing Toshiaki Hirose said “We are a team who attacks, so we may make decisions aggressively, and attack and score tries all together while carrying the ball in open spaces”, Japan maintained the right attitude to attack and regained their flow. In the 24th minute, centre Male Sau, saying “I'm happy I contributed to the team with my biggest strength, ball carrying,” scored a try, overcoming the opponent's defense, to make the score tie (12-12). In the 37th minute, from a scrum, lock Hitoshi Ono, saying “the stability of set plays is my strength,” scrum-half Fumiaki Tanaka, prop Kensuke Hatakeyama who subbed in (in the 35th minute of the first half, replacing Hiroshi Yamashita) and hooker Shota Horie who made it across the gain line surely, and flanker Hendrik Tui, cut in the ruck side to come from behind. Even while saying “The first half was not good” (head coach Jones), the half-time break came with a lead of 19-15 by Japan.
In the 3rd minute of the second half, after centre Sau broke through, wing Hirose received the ball from full-back Goromaru and jumped in, then Japan scored three tries until past the 20th minute. The final score was 38-20. The second try in the second half was a penalty try Japan gained after trying to form a scrum in front of the goal, which was scored by the forwards who were told “you cannot say a scrum is strong unless you can get a penalty,” by the spot coach Marc Dal Maso who was in change of scrums. And the third try was by scrum-half Tanaka who went through the ruck side with his great strategizing, and who kept panicking, saying, “Unless Japan can make a good result now, Japan's rugby will end.” This way of adding tries in the second half could be said to be evidence of Japan's evolution this Spring.
“Even while we are moving in the right direction as a whole, we need to be stronger, faster, and more skillful. The All Blacks have an incredible win rate of 90% in 50 test matches. We are going to target this level too.” (head coach Jones)
