Ireland edge Japan 39-31 in 9-try thriller in Dublin

Associated Press  

DUBLIN — Ireland edged a thrilling back-and-forth match with Japan 39-31 before 3,000 entertained fans at Lansdowne Road on Saturday. While Japan closed to trail just 33-31, Joey Carbery’s two penalties gave Ireland a safe buffer against the tiring Japanese with 12 minutes to go. “ a top-class international side, so any type of win was always going to be a great result for us,” happy Ireland coach Andy Farrell said. “Every single game that we’ll play against Japan from now on in will always be a close encounter.” Japan rued a try disallowed and a penalty hitting the post in the first half. “We played some great rugby at times and, for a team that hasn’t been together for nearly two years, it’s a good sign for us,” Japan coach Jamie Joseph said.
