A great goal from Milly Clegg. There was a lot of good pressure and play in the first quarter of the match, and we dealt well with Japan's pressure in the 2nd part of the 1st half.
It's just too bad some defensive lapses ended up quickly changing the game in the 2nd half, where they just moved up several levels that we couldn't match them.
Again Japan were just too good, but the positives are that we saw some decent attacks and pressure early on in the match and also it's just great to be testing ourselves against a highly ranked opposition in the lead up to the Olympics - the team surely has a bit of a better idea of the levels they will be up against next month.
