On the 55 minutes mark, Ireland struck again. Another Scottish handling error spilled possession into the hands of the Irish and Andrew Conway duly obliged by scoring in the corner to wrap up the win and bonus point.

In the other games on Sunday, England wrapped up the bonus point in a 35-3 win over Tonga in Sapporo. The English side, one of the favorites at the year's tournament, struggled to build up a head of steam against a physical Tongan defense that pushed many of the England players backward in contact.

While the Tongans rarely got close to England's try line, the number of unforced errors made by the English will give coach Eddie Jones something to think about before their next game against the USA on Thursday.

In the early kick-off, Italy dispatched a spirited Namibia 47-22 in Osaka. In a game that Namibia was expected to lose heavily, the African side managed to keep pace with the Azzurri for large portions of the first half.
