【試合ハイライト】JAPAN XV vs ホンコン・チャイナ代表 | 2025年10月24日（金）|
And the crowd wars as we set off. Japan playing in their away white strip. Hong Kong in their favorite home red strip. Huge carry from Joshua Hers’s captain to start off with. It looks like a high tackle for Japan. Very tactically astute there from Japan. Just putting the ball deep in Hong Kong half. And on the attack again here tackle midfield. Can he finish it off? An early try perhaps against the run of play there for Japan for number 13 Yuya Hiroshi from Kabota Spears used to playing that top flight rugby against some of the biggest names in the world 10 m line. Looks like a looked like a small knock on there from Japan, but I think it was a Hong Kong hand. Quickly taken by a Japanese nine asah toy. Great cover tackle from Pierce West. Opportunity for Japan out wide and a beautiful hands means they go in the corner for their second try of the game. And you can see how clinical Japan are when they get into their stride on that front foot. The ball zipping between players and hands. It’s a lovely try in the far corner there from Japan. Japan with that trademark line speed. Another penalty to Japan. Looking like a wheel down. A quick tap from Van Zealand taking play into the Hong Kong 5 m line. They’re lined up out here to the left. Japan strolling over number 14, the Olympian Kazuma UA. Japanese 15 looks to add the extras. Strokes it beautifully between the uprightes. Strong tackles. An opportunity for a turnover. Still playing under penalty advantage here. And that speed of ball from Japan really asking questions of this Hong Kong back line as Tom Takamoto an explosion of pace back on the inside. There was a way of slowing that ball down at rock time. But unfortunately there may be the man that was was there to do that. Pierce McKinley West is not on the pitch at the moment. But let me tell you attacking prowess of the Hong Kong team here. Poor execution at lineup time, but they still have possession. [Applause] Can they spend some time down here in the Japanese? Have they across the line? Ruben Keane of Australia raises his arm. And who else? The crowd go wild. Who else to do it but captain Josh Hurst. He’s been a talisman. He’s been great all game. And what a huge carry scoring under the post in front of the famous South Staff. Young man, fresh out university. adds the two points and the answer I believe is yes. Lovely monologue said boy. Tommy Hill back in his preferred position at 12. Starting that bit wider to try and counteract this Japanese wide pass. Lovely hands. The Japanese back line. The waves of Japanese attack come again. [Applause] Referee might want to have another look at this with David Vanzeland. Crosses the whitewash for Japan. Looked like a a wobbly push down there. 15 score. Looking to add the extras again. Very accomplished kicker and he does that just that battles. You start chalking them all up. They all add up in the end. But Japan have set a lovely mole here and it looks like it’s gaining momentum towards the Hong Kong line and it has indeed crossed over for yet another try. The Japanese 15 Brave Blossoms in the corner looking well disciplined in the back three. Japan make a substitution. No, they’ve brought off David Van Zaland. A huge second row and brought on number 20 KTO Aayoki. Lovely footwork there by Japan. Ghosting through the home. The Japanese 15 starting to unload their bench deep into this second half. Left wing who moves it to the fullback who’ll be looking to inject some pace on the game as he skips around Mcnesh releases it back to his teammate. offload inside and Japan are looking very dangerous. Borderline forward pass. The ref says no. The crowd says yes. Japan say try. Lovely into play there as the game is starting to open up. Having to deviate from perhaps the original game plan and change it up with previous kicks looking to find. Another well weighted kickoff from Gregor Mcnesh and a fantastic take by Ganton. He has really injected himself into this match since coming off the bench with numerous positive pieces of play. Yeah, he’s seriously announced himself. The background in AFL means he’s used to taking those high balls and Hong Kong set the rock. You can certainly see the crossover there, but Hong Kong giving away another penalty and Japan showing their endeavor, taking a quick tap from deep inside their 22 under their sticks. The boys have come to play. That’s true, Jamie. Every shirt 9 to5’s happy with the option. 1 to8 not so happy. Wishing they’d slowed it down, but Hong Kong all over them and they’ve turned the ball over [Music] here. Looks like they’ve crossed the line and referee Ruben Key has awarded Hong Kong China’s second try. Callum Scott taken foul and seven points to add. Greg Mish adds the extras against a one and a half stacked Japanese defense, but they’ve gone the other way. here. Gregor Mcnesh showing to kick and then looking to use the big frame of Tommy Hill who takes Hong Kong over the game line. Slow rock ball again. Japan not committing any to the breakdown. Just choosing to take that line speed and put Hong Kong again under pressure. And they’ve been rewarded. They’ve been rewarded with that line speed. [Music] The Japanese number 12 as the final whistle sounds. Japan still wishing to play this game. Lovely deaf hands, but it has crept forward there by Japan. [Applause] And Ruben Keenan in the middle blows time [Music] on what has been a bruising encounter between Hong Kong, China 15, and Japan 15.
