September 20th, 2007
 Wales cruised to a commanding 11-try 72-18 victory over
Japan at the Millenium Stadium.
The Welsh began in shaky fashion in a disjointed first half,
but the Asian minnows were never going to upset the Celtics.
The Cherry Blossoms scored a good try through right winger
Kosuke Endo but after an initial stutter, the Welsh ensured
they went to the break having already secured the bonus
point for four tries.
Scrumhalf Michael Phillips scored soon after the half to
wrap up the win and elevate Wales to second place on the
log. It was not always clinical rugby from the Dragons, who
fumbled a few opportunities against a weak Japanese defence.
Shane Williams scored in the 50th minute after an impressive
build up, and from this moment the floodgates opened. The
fight from Japan was ever-apparent, but there structure was
woeful. They lost possession off the first phase regularly
and the Welsh made them pay for their mistakes.
Wales flyhalf Stephen Jones was on song with the boot and
with the ball in hand setting up several tries through some
sniping breaks. Wales could have punished Japan to a severe
degree if they had held their passes, and although they won
handsomely in Cardiff there is still some cause for concern
over their finishing ability.
Japan scored two tries of their own but unlike the fixtiure
against Fijij they were never in the game. With this loss
they bow out of contention and will fight for a consolation
win against Canada in their final Pool B match.
Wales - Tries: Alun Wyn-Jones, James Hook, Rhys Thomas,
Kevin Morgan, Mike Phillips, Shane Williams (2), Dafydd
James, Gareth Cooper. Martyn Williams (2). Conversions:
Stephen Jones (6), Ceri Sweeney. Penalty: Jones.
Japan - Tries: Kosuke Endo, Hirotoki Onozawa. Penalties:
Shotaro Onishi (2).
