Nervy Ireland edge Japan
Ireland battled back to keep their World Cup dreams alive with a 24-14 win over Japan at the Belfield Bowl.
Despite Japan suffering a heavy loss to France in their Pool C opener, the Sakura pushed Ireland to the limit and deservedly went into the interval leading 14-0.
Tom Tierney's side looked nervous, but to their credit, battled hard and pulled level thanks to tries from Alison Miller and Paula Fitzpatrick respectively.
And they go their noses in front when Nora Stapelton kicked over a penalty before Fitzpatrick doubled her try tally, leaving Stapleton to convert, confirming an unconvincing win.
Ireland face France next on August 17, which is live on eir Sport.
