Confidence building win for Wales
Almost exactly two years since their last teat match win, Wales opened their Autumn programme with a comfortable win against Japan, who were playing the first game of their European tour. Wales started strongly, with a try coming in only the second minute, Japan having no answer to a Welsh maul, captain Siwan Lillicrap getting the ball down. However, despite playing most of the opening ten minutes inside the Japanese 22 this was the only score, and when Japan finally broke away they showed that they could be a threat.
