Adams Double Lifts Lacklustre Wales to 28-21 Win over Japan
Josh Adams scored twice as Wales earned a bonus-point win, but coach Steve Tandy said the team still had much to improve.
- On Saturday, winger Josh Adams scored two tries as Wales claimed a 28-21 bonus-point victory over Japan in the Nations Championship at Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
- Coach Steve Tandy fielded a record nine English-based club players and his sixth different centre combination, building on a third win in five tests following the 2023 World Cup.
- Prop Archie Griffin and winger Louis Rees-Zammit also scored tries, yet Wales struggled at the set-piece, losing six line-outs despite controlling much of the match.
- Japan remained competitive through scores from flanker Ben Gunter, lock Warner Dearns, and replacement scrum-half Kenta Fukuda, forcing Wales to rely on a late turnover penalty to hold on.
- Wales stays fifth in the northern hemisphere table and will host New Zealand and Australia over the next two weekends before a three-day finals weekend at The Allianz Stadium in London.
