Wales women completed their Japan tour with a 29-5 victory in Kumagaya, following their win in the opening Test. Amy Williams scored twice as the visitors crossed for five tries. Wales finished with 13 players after two late yellow cards, but held Japan to a single try and ended the two-match series unbeaten.
Metcalfe’s opening score followed a loose Japanese goal-line dropout and a strong carry by Alex Callender. Japan answered through hooker Moe Nagaoka. A kick by Lleucu George then put the home defence under pressure, and Wales regained possession before Jones crossed. George converted two tries.[1]
Williams finished another attack before the break, giving the visitors a 19-5 half-time lead. In the second half Tuipulotu supplied the try that secured an attacking bonus point. Callender later helped release Williams for her second finish.[1]
Two late yellow cards left Wales with 13 players for the closing stages, but Japan could not add to its score. Co-captain Kate Williams praised the first-half set-piece work while acknowledging that lost discipline had given Japan momentum. Sean Lynn’s team nevertheless held out to complete the second victory of the tour.[1]
