Japanese winger leaves Tongan defenders in his wake to score a brilliant try

Japanese winger Kenki Fukuoka is a player to keep an eye during the Rugby World Cup in Japan with the winger scoring 20 tries in just 31 tests for the national side.

He scored his 20th try in the PNC clash with Tonga this weekend as he brushed off the attempted tackle of Nafi Tuitavake and stepped past Tevita Halaifonua to score a stunning try as Japan claimed a 7-41 victory over the Islanders.


Japan and the USA will now face each other in a winner-takes-all meeting in Suva on 10 August to decide who will be Pacific Nations Cup 2019 champions.
