Wales opt to kick to the corner, a sign of intent early on. This is a positive start for Wales, who are into the Japan 22 and have an advantage. Japan are a team that comes out of the blocks very quickly, and this could've possibly taken the wind out of their sails.

Japan stunned Wales in Kitakyushu with a first-Test fightback that condemned the visitors to an 18th successive defeat. The tourists led 19-7 at the break, but wilted in the extremely hot and humid conditions in a match that took two hours to complete.
