Try: Sato Con: Lee Pen: Lee
Ireland outlasted a tenacious Japan side to win 41-10 in a largely underwhelming autumn Test in Dublin.
After last week’s loss to New Zealand, the victory represents a first win of the autumn for Ireland and, after his British and Irish Lions sabbatical, a first with Andy Farrell at the helm since November 2024.
It did, however, come courtesy of a far from convincing first-half performance with Ireland scoring three tries in the final 13 minutes to put a gloss on the scoreline.
