Japan had elected to bring just 10 players and would be down to 9 after Yuko Ito sustained a knee injury on day two of the tournament. Failing fatigue, they would likely steamroll their way past Hong Kong and to the finals for the coverted gold medal. China, also favoured to make the finals would have to get past the Thais who could probably match them for speed but not physicality.<br> <br> Japan dominated the match against Hong Kong from the start taking just under a minute to score two tries through the prolific Fukushima Wasana and Sakurai Ayono. Oyokawa Yuki was nearly in for a third Japanese try through an intercept but was stopped before the posts. Ayono got on the score board again after her own chip chase whilst Hong Kong struggled to get create any breaks and rarely left their half. Oyokawa Yuki made it four to Japan right before half-time to put Japan up 26-0.<br> </div><a href="http://sruwomens.blogspot.com/2013/08/japanese-spoil-early-chinese.html#more">Read more »</a> </article> <article> <h1>Japan favorites to take Gold at AYG</h1> <p>2013-08-18T21:22:00.004+08:00</p> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig2BpOuEZuZBKNKYvHWgXjvMVgp5pDEWdRwI08a5FBM1HCvJmjoCNBDwzVmGkw5tEfzHFhmyvhGmWOGKpipcKxRNfZhnVag_u0OtnHgEeNF5dgHPzNbsIgHGTRh-J_Xlazu1XZxHVQcjk/s1600/asian+games.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Photo courtesy of <a href="http://www.nanjing2013.org/">www.nanjing2013.org</a></td></tr> </tbody></table> <b>18 August 2013</b><br> <div> <b><br></b>Thailand put their two losses yesterday behind them to edge Hong Kong out in the first game of day two.

The 15-0 loss to Japan three weeks ago is as close as they have gotten and a far cry from the 78-0 pummeling in the World Cup Qualifiers in 2005.
