Wales achieved a three-try victory against Japan during their latest WXV campaign match in Tokyo. The game was characterized by challenging weather conditions, which contributed to a performance that was described as a "grind" by observers. Despite the difficult environment, Wales managed to secure their second win of the tournament.

While the final result favored Wales, the match was noted for its lack of fluidity, with both teams struggling to maintain momentum due to the conditions. The victory marks a significant step for the Welsh team in the WXV standings, though the nature of the win suggests areas for improvement in their tactical execution. Japan, playing on home soil, remained competitive throughout the match but was unable to overcome the Welsh defensive effort or capitalize on their own scoring opportunities. The match concluded with Wales successfully managing the game's final minutes to preserve their lead.
