Australia defeated Japan 35-32 in a rugby match on Saturday in Osaka, marking a winning debut for new head coach Les Kiss. The Wallabies secured the victory despite playing a significant portion of the match with a numerical disadvantage following a first-half red card issued to Miles Amatosero.
Facing both the adverse weather conditions of the heat and a strong second-half comeback attempt by Japan, Australia managed to hold on during the closing stages to seal the narrow three-point win.
