Japan on attack and break through the middle

Barrett takes the start and sets up Ngwenya who is tackled

The sides are out for the 2nd half

It was all the Eagles in the opening 40 as Japan did nothing but defend in the opening 20 minutes. Slowly they managed to settle and find their way back in the game and scored a sensational try just on the stroke of half time

What a try by Japan as they execute a great back line move with a double dummy and loop to suck the defence in

TRY TIME

Durutolo contests for the ball illegally and the Brave Blossoms look to take the points

The Eagles spoil their own line out and gift JApan the ball

The ball pops out and USA swarm on him and isolate him. USA penalty
