WALES went on a scoring rampage Saturday, trouncing hapless Japan 64-15 in their World Cup Group D match at the Millennium Stadium as fly-half Neil Jenkins equalled the record for points scored in Tests. Wales scored 38 unanswered points in a desperately one-sided second half. The Dragons got two tries from centre Mark Taylor and one each from wing Allan Bateman, scrum-half Rob Howley, and Scott Gibbs, fullback Shane Howarth, replacements David Llewellyn and Gareth Thomas and a penalty try, while Jenkins kicked eight conversions and a penalty. Jenkins’ 19 points saw him draw level with Australian Michael Lynagh’s world record of 911 Test points. Japan’s points came from tries by wings Daisuke Ohata and Pat Tuidrake, the first converted by fly-half Keiji Hirose who also landed a penalty – all in the first half. Hosts Wales won their opening match of the tournament against Argentina, while Japan lost to Samoa. Despite two wins from two games, the Welsh are not certain of finishing on top of the group. They still need at least a point from their final match against Samoa. The loss ended Japan’s hopes of advancing past the first round of the World Cup for the first time. Wales are now unbeaten in 10 straight matches under New Zealand coach Graham Henry and scored their sixth victory in six meetings with Japan. –AFP
