Ireland Struggles but Finishes Strong to Defeat Japan 41-10
Ireland scored six tries and overcame early errors with impactful substitutes to secure a 41-10 win over Japan, improving after a recent loss to New Zealand.
- On Saturday, Ireland rugby team defeated Japan rugby team 41-10 at Aviva Stadium, scoring six tries to one in the final tally.
- Andy Farrell reshuffled his side with eight changes after losing to New Zealand in Chicago last week, while the Japan team arrived following a 61-7 defeat last weekend.
- But the more pertinent numbers were 19 handling errors by Ireland and 17 by Japan, while Sam Prendergast's introduction just past the 50-minute mark sparked late scoring with Cian Prendergast and Jack Conan.
- The 41-10 win leaves Ireland heading into tests against Australia and South Africa, but observers called the performance unconvincing and unlikely to intimidate the Wallabies or Springboks.
- The benches exposed Ireland's superior depth as replacements helped secure the win, but persistent lineout issues—including losing three of seven lineouts before half-time—highlight work despite a 24-0 second-half improvement.
