Scotland results against Japan

The last of Scotland’s Nations Championship games before the Finals Weekend in London sees the first visit from Japan for five years, when Scotland scored four tries in a 29-20 win. The Brave Blossoms (who famously made the knock-out stages of their own Rugby World Cup in 2019 after a narrow win against Scotland) finished runners-up in last year’s Pacific Nations Cup (losing 27-33 to Fiji in the final) after recording a famous win against Wales in the summer.
