The hosts of the 2019 Rugby World Cup scored six tries, including five by forwards.

Japan’s Michael Leitch scores his team’s fourth try in the Rugby World Cup Pool D match against Chile.

Four years ago in Tokyo, Kotaro Matsushima was the hattrick hero as the hosts began their tournament with a 30-10 win over minnows Russia. It took six minutes for Chile to touch down for the first time at the World Cup, but they had to endure an agonising video wait after almost blowing a four-on-one break.

Chile had a nervous wait before the video match officials confirmed that Torrealba had not knocked on and the try stood, with Santiago Videla converting. The game swung Japan’s way after Chile prop Matias Dittus received a yellow card for a late tackle on 24 minutes.
