Hosts score six tries en route to lopsided 46-8 victory over Kieran Crowley’s team

SENDAI, Japan — The Associated Press Published on Sunday, Nov. 15, 2009 11:16AM EST

Japan scored six tries Sunday en route to a 46-8 thrashing of Canada in the first game of a two-match series.

Nathan Hirayama scored the lone Canadian try while James Pritchard provided a penalty goal in the first half.

“We turned over too much ball and did not dominate the contact/breakdown as we had discussed through the week,” said Canadian coach Kieran Crowley. “The Japanese on this day deserved their win with a better, smarter, performance through 80 minutes.”
