Rugby Sevens: While the Australian Men went down to France, the Australian Women's sevens team fought a hard won battle with Ireland.
Mixed results for Aussies in Madrid 7s | 00:50Eddie Jones said Japan were “going in the right direction ” despite being thrashed 52-17 by England in Tokyo on Saturday in the first game of his second stint in charge.
Instead, an inexperienced Japan side featuring four debutants in the starting line-up and four coming off the bench conceded eight tries, although they scored two of their own in a stirring finish to the game. Head coach Eddie Jones of Japan is seen during the warm up prior to the game. “We showed enough in attack to know we’re going in the right direction but we were unable to capitalise,” said the Australian.
Japan opened the scoring with a penalty in sweltering conditions in the Japanese capital before pinning England back on their own goal-line for most of the opening 10 minutes.
