Author of one of the greatest exploits in the history of the World Cup in 2015, with an unforgettable victory against South Africa, Japan will not immediately add another big name to its hunting list . However, the opportunity was good against this more than capable England, Sunday September 17. But, victims of their own shortcomings, the Japanese lost to the XV de la Rose (34-12) in Nice, crumbling in the second period.

With two successes in as many matches in Group D, Steve Borthwick’s men have so far fulfilled their contract, even more so with this offensive bonus snatched at the end of the match. But, it will be necessary to show much more to do the same with their capital confidence.
