A solid Canadian team of Lords gave Japanese Samurais a hard match and for a long period had it won, but for some excellent defending by the Japanese Samurais. The result was a fair one, as Canada to be specific have not been the force that they were in the last World Cup in NZ. Previous to this loss they were soundly beaten by a battle weakened (due to I&B Lions duty) Ireland. Lord Eddy Jones has been a delight to watch as he urges his mentors on to do greater things, maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel ?

I was going for Canada, and guess the rain gave them an advantage, but Japan deserved the win.
