On Saturday, November 8, 2025, in Dublin at the Aviva Stadium, there was a match between the national teams of Ireland and Japan as part of the Autumn Nations Cup. The Irish team secured a victory with a score of 41-10, starting with six successful attempts.
The first half of the game was tense, with Ireland opening the scoring with a try from Jack Crowley and Nick Timoney, allowing them to take a 17-0 lead. However, Japan did not give up and responded with a try from Kenji Satoh, finishing the first half with a score of 17-10 in their favor.
In the second half, Ireland demonstrated their strength, scoring four more tries, thereby solidifying their advantage. Among the try scorers were Andrew Porter, Gus McCarthy, Patrick McCarthy, and Tommy O'Brien.
This victory was the first for Ireland in the autumn series after losing to New Zealand the previous week. Head coach Andy Farrell made changes to the team's lineup, but the play was still far from ideal, especially in the first half.
The team from Japan, which previously suffered a defeat against South Africa with a score of 61-7, showed resilience but could not realize their potential in the second half of the match.
