Wales labour to bonus-point win against Japan

Wales resumed their Nations Championship campaign with an unconvincing bonus-point 28-21 victory against Japan at the Principality Stadium.

Wales labour to bonus-point win against Japan

Wales secured a narrow bonus-point victory over Japan in a match played at the Principality Stadium. The hosts emerged victorious with a final score of 21-14. Griffith scored one of Wales' three tries, while Adams and Rees-Zammit each netted two. Japan managed to score two tries themselves, with Gunter and Dearns being the scorers.

The match was characterized by Wales' strong ball-carrying performances from Rees-Zammit, Murray, Morgan, Wainwright, and James. Despite several defensive errors and line-out issues, Wales managed to hold on for the win. The victory marked Tandy's fourth win in 13 internationals and followed a similar last-gasp effort against Japan a year ago.
