World Rugby U20s Highlights: Wales vs Japan
- 1855
Wales u20 held on for a slender 18-17 win over Japan u20 in round 3 of the World Rugby Under 20 Championship. Japan ran in two first-half tries to one, but Wales kicked two penalties to take a narrow 13-10 lead into the break. An early second-half try for Wales made it a two-score ball game at 18-10, with the match continuing to be tight throughout. After a sustained period of pressure, Japan got over for a try with just under 5 minutes to play to give themselves a chance to snatch victory. However, the come back was not to be as Wales made it two wins out of three in Pool A.
