- 2124
Scotland secured a 26-13 away win over Japan in the first of two test matches between the sides. The first half was a tight affair as Japan led 10-9 approaching halftime, but ill discipline cost the hosts as they received two yellow cards and conceded a penalty try for Scotland to take a 16-10 lead into the break. Scotland crossed for their second try early in the second half, which took the game away from Japan with each side trading a successful penalty in the remainder of the match.
