Wallabies wary of Japan's threat on the counter in Osaka test
The Wallabies secured a narrow victory over Japan in a frenetic Test match at Osaka, winning 35-32. The game was marked by unconvincing moments from the home side, who trailed early but managed to stay in contention despite a red card to Wallabies lock Miles Amatosero. Japan, coached by Les Kiss, showed promise but struggled to sustain their attack against Australia's polished play.
Despite several opportunities, the Wallabies fell short in converting their chances. Captain Harry Wilson acknowledged the team's lapses, emphasizing the need for discipline and better ball management in the upcoming second Test in Townsville.
