Ciaran Hearn has a go from inside his own half but is way short. Score remains 3-0
Half time here in Japan and the score is 3-0 to Canada. A game which has been ruined by the rain. Japan at the end of the half started putting a few attacks together but it came to nothing. Hopefully the rain will stop and we can see some good rugby being played. Stay tuned with us for 2nd half updates.
Ciaran Hearn has a go from 45 yards out but his attempt is short. 22 dropout for Japan.
Japan have made 8 handling errors in 25 minutes. Conditions are tough out there. Canada have made 5.
Must be noted that both sides defences are working well and putting in some big hits.
Halfway through the first half and still 3-0 the rain is playing a massive factor in this game leading to a lot of handling errors.
Goromanu has a chance to level from 30 yards out but misses. Should have stuck that one over.
Scrappy start to the game by both sides. Either side yet to show any good attacking flow to their play yet.
Canada get the first points of the game thanks to the boot of Conor Braid. 3-0 Canada.
