'Hurt ourselves': Wallabies survive scare as Kiss era begins with Japan win
New Wallabies coach Les Kiss says his side will need to learn how to control their ambitions after Australia hangs on to win a frantic Test match against Japan in the Osaka heat.
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.
