The Saitama Wild Knights delivered a commanding performance against the Mitsubishi Sagamihara Dynaboars, winning 57-19. Juan Wilson opened the scoring with a try in the eighth minute, followed by a strong showing from fly half Takuya Yamasawa, who converted every opportunity and scored a try himself. The home team continued to press, with Taiki Koyama and Damian de Allende adding to their tally before half-time, ending the first 40 minutes at 36-7. After the break, de Allende scored again, and Takaya Saito made an impact off the bench, adding a try and a conversion. The Dynaboars managed a few moments of brilliance, including a try from Seunghyok Lee and another from Chang-Ho Ahn, but they were outclassed throughout the match. Saitama's dominance was evident, with strong contributions from their forwards and backs alike. This victory reinforced the Wild Knights' position at the top of the Japan League One D1 standings.
