Japan XV showcased their dominance with a resounding 59-14 victory over Hong Kong in an international tour match.

The second half saw further scores from Shodai Hirao and Shuntaro Kitamura, while Hong Kong's Calum Scott added a consolation try. Japan's defensive line held strong throughout, limiting Hong Kong's scoring opportunities.
