Higashikawa is penalised for holding onto the ball. It is just far too easy for the Welsh at this stage. Wales set up a lineout 15m out from the tryline.

After a very long build up, Davies runs a straight line and barges through a tackle to dot the ball against the posts to score. Good team try.

Wales show plenty of patience on attack. They go from end to end, creeping closer and closure.

After a number of phases, Wales turn the ball over at the ruck and put a kick through down field. Adams chases the kick and nearly regathers the ball, but it is lost forward by Japan to set up a Welsh scrum 10m from the Japanese tryline.

Japan are keeping the ball tight, plenty of pick up and drives or they attack the first channel. It works for them as they manage to get into the Welsh 22m line.
