Injured at the start of the match against England, Semishi Masirewa withdraws from the rest of the World Cup. He is replaced by Ryohei Yamanaka.
Semishi Masirewa had a particularly complicated start to the match this Sunday against England. After committing a forward in his goal from the start, he was injured on a clearance and was replaced in the 7th minute. He therefore participated very little in the defeat of his country 34 to 12 against the XV de la Rose. The Japanese federation announced this Monday that its fullback was out of the rest of the competition and would be replaced in the group by Ryohei Yamanaka.
After their victory against Chile and the defeat against England, Jamie Joseph’s men still have a chance of qualifying. For that they will first have to get rid of Samoa at the Toulouse Stadium, then overcome Argentina, who will also play their qualification, at the Beaujoire stadium in Nantes.
