81'+130-10 End of second half
80'And it's over! Japan score four tries to bring open the 2019 World Cup with a resounding win, despite early fears of an upset.
80'Russia kick the ball out from a penalty at the Japan 22, rather than finish it. They're looking to finish with a try.
77'The humidity and sweat is proving pre-World Cup fears of a slippery ball to come to fruition. A few drops here evident why unique ball handling preparations were so necessary.

59'Russia are not tiring yet. Undoubtedly underdogs in this contest they're still in this game, keeping their opening game hopes alive. Russia again win the high-ball with Vasily Artemyev going up for the catch, winning a penalty. Yury Kushnarev kicks the ball through the posts to close the gap.

54'Russia have the ball just five metres out but can't force the ball forward anymore. Russia get the penalty after a large pile up in the ruck. Russia scrum on the Japan five.
51'It's a party in Japan so far in this second half. Eight points in 12 minutes since the break and now there is a Mexican wave making its way round the stadium!

48'Japan fly-half Yu Tamura misses the conversion.

45'Despite a strong restart since the half, Japan continue to give the ball away cheaply, again doing so.
44'Russia centre Dimitry Gerasimov doesn't clear away from the ruck. Penalty to Japan means they kick over for an easy three points.
44'15-7 Penalty goal - Yu Tamura , Japón
42'Japan pick up where they left off. An awkward bounce from a kick to the Russian fullback Vasily Artemyev will unnerve the visitors.
41'We're back underway for the second half.
41'12-7 End of first half
40'It was certainly a moment to remember for wing Kirill Golosnitskiy.
40'So the first half of 2019 World Cup rugby ends with the hosts 21-7 up. Japan took a while to get going but dominated in the final ten minutes. The Russian boys put everything into that first 40 minutes and will welcome a break. It's an uphill battle for the visitors going into the second half.

33'Player substituted - Vasily Dorofeev , Rusia

32'Another dropped ball for Japan.The hosts having real trouble with the high ball. Russia scrum-half Vasily Dorofeev keeps them coming.
31'Japan look to be showing some tournament opening stage-fright. Russia giving as good as they're getting.

25'Russia broke away down the pitch before a kick along the floor was scooped up by the Japanese backs.
20'Japan piling on the pressure in the final third. Two drives in the last few minutes look promising.
20'Rank outsiders Russia are causing a shock so far, more than matching the hosts.
18'Both sides playing for territory. The ball was kicked back and forth with Russia winning out. Japan wing Kotaro Matsushima receives the ball with his foot on the line at the 6.
16'Russia work the Japanese line, keeping the pressure high with forwards continuing the slow advance.
