## Summary

Wales beat Japan 29-5 in Kumagaya City to complete a double over them and finish the WXV Global Series with a third win. The result capped a strong recovery for Sean Lynn’s side, who had gone nine Tests without a victory before their win over South Africa.

Nel Metcalfe, Kelsey Jones, Amy Williams (twice) and Sisilia Tuipulotu scored Wales’ five tries, with Lleucu George adding two conversions; Moe Nagaoka scored Japan’s only try. Wales held on while down to 13 players after Keira Bevan and Hannah Dallavalle were sent to the sin-bin, and finished the series with one defeat, against the USA. Japan remain without a win since May and are yet to win under coach Toshizumi Kitagawa.
