Japan wins 3 consecutive wins Proof of evolution with consistent play October 5 22:39

At the Rugby World Cup Japan tournament, Japan won Samoa and took the lead in the group in the first league three-game winning streak, and it was even closer to the best 8 advance of the first wish.

“Consistency” of performance

Players continued to show their tenacious defenses, not reluctant from the historic victory over Ireland, and in the attack, they demonstrated their team-kick tactics and proved their evolution as a team.

What was asked in this game was “Consistency of performance”, which is the theme of Japan. The game against Ireland grabbed historical triumphs by scoring fewer opportunities from tremendous tenacity and rapid deployment attacks.

However, in preparation for the Samoa match, Wing ’s Kenki Fukuoka said, “It ’s said to be a historic victory, but I know the most important thing about the game after that. It was.

Because, in the previous England tournament, Japan won the victory against South Africa against “the upset of the century,” but lost the next game and missed the final tournament.
In June last year, in the second round against the powerful and Italy, the first round was won, but the second round was defeated, and Jamie Joseph Head Coach consistently performed the same performance in any opponent and in any situation during the match. I have repeatedly instructed players to have sex.

Start from conscious “zero”

For this reason, athletes say they have been preparing with the same training and attitude as before, with an awareness of "starting from zero" for the Samoa match.

And in the first half of the game, taking advantage of the flexibility of the tactics that are strengths, unlike the game against Ireland, aggressively attacked with kicks, and when densely robbed, it turned into attack at once and robbed a try It was.

Also, in the defensive, repeated tackling with one person from a sharp start, did not allow a try.

In the second half, even in a pinch scene before the goal, he continued with tenacious defense, put pressure on the opponent's scrum, and then allowed only one try to steal the ball in the crowd.

On the other hand, the stamina that had been polished in a strict training camp also shined.
After a quick attack from 10 minutes to the end of the game, and taking away the try, the wing Kotaro Matsushima decided the fourth try of this game, the team's fourth try, and precious I got 5 points with bonus points.

Japan continued to show its tenacious defense in the game after the historic victory and proved its evolution as a team on the big stage by making full use of the kick tactics it has honed.

On the other hand, it seems to be a correction point that the penalty was conspicuous from the first half.

The last opponent of the first league is Scotland, who lost the last tournament. In order to overcome the humiliation and advance to the final tournament, it is required to demonstrate “consistency” again.
