Ireland were keen to rectify some mistakes, but Japan – who were beaten 61-7 by the Springboks last weekend – made a bright start and looked dangerous with ball in hand in a Saturday lunchtime environment.
An early Crawley penalty put Ireland ahead, before the Brave Blossoms’ lively start was undermined by a 17th-minute yellow card for center Charlie Lawrence after a lifting tackle on Test newcomer Farrell.
Fly-half Crawley completed a fine team effort three minutes later by pouncing on Doris’ pass and then added the extras as Ireland took advantage of their temporary numerical advantage.
Flanker Timoney crossed into the left corner and Crawley completed the difficult touchline conversion soon after Lawrence’s return to extend the lead.
Yet Ireland led by just seven points at the break as Japan’s attacking enterprise was finally rewarded.
Hooker Sato was brought down in a maul three minutes before half-time, with fly-half Lee scoring and giving away a penalty, with Jacob Stockdale sin-binned after one-on-one contact with Kippei Ishida either side of him.
Ireland were far more fluid in the early stages of the second half.
Prop Porter lined out to shift the scoreboard momentum back in the home team’s favour, before wing Stockdale was denied his 20th Test try on review due to an offside decision.
Aided by a large influence from the bench, Ireland gradually began to dominate.
Replacement hooker Gus McCarthy powered over in the 67th minute to put them completely in control, before substitute prop Paddy McCarthy scored his second Test match five minutes later with his first international try.
Wing O’Brien then produced an impressive individual performance to pounce on a Prendergast pass to score the sixth and final try of a satisfactory afternoon for Ireland.
