Scrum penalty for Japan and they take it quickly. The tap & go earns them a few meters but a missed pass gifts the NZ Maori a turnover and West sends the ball to James Lowe deep in his 22. He shakes 2 defenders and runs almost the length of the field to pop the ball to West in support who scores

Japan earn a free kick after the NZ Maori had too many numbers in the line out. They set up a scrum just inside the 22

Japan have come out fighting in the 2nd half and earn a penalty that will allow them to set up a good attacking line out 20m out
