Maori All Blacks edge Japan
Print Edition
JAPAN came within two minutes of stunning the Maori All Blacks yesterday as the “Brave Blossoms” were caught by a sucker punch in a battling 18-20 loss.
Flanker Dan Pryor landed the knockout blow for the visitors by capping a lightning raid with an acrobatic try in the 78th minute, just as Japan looked to be heading for a shock victory in Tokyo a week after losing by 40 points. Japan, beaten 21-61 by the tourists last weekend, was wobbling at 0-15 down after Nehe Milner-Skudder sprinted clear in the 23rd and Ihaia West slotted a penalty quickly afterwards. But winger Akihito Yamada evaded the Maori defense to touch down in the corner moments before halftime, and the pendulum swung in Japan’s favor, with an Ayumu Goromaru penalty putting the host up 18-15 in the 73rd only for Pryor to seal it.
