Japan v Ireland, second Test - All You Need To Know
It will be hard to top last week's performance in Shizuoka, but that's a good problem to have.
At times during the 57-22 win a week ago, it was jarring to think that Japan - and not Ireland - would be heading to the World Cup in New Zealand, but that's a consequence of the IRFU's own making.
The organisation, skills and confidence shown a week ago looked a world apart from the Ireland side that played their ill-fated qualification tournament in Italy a year ago, a clear sign that if those in charge are serious in their commitment to the women's XV-a-side game in Ireland, they can make progress quick.
The fact that they looked so composed and cohesive without the likes of Beibhinn Parsons, Eve Higgins, Stacey Flood and Amee-Leigh Murphy Crowe shows the depth that is beginning to develop.
The caveat is that while Japan are preparing for the World Cup, their 13th ranking in the world means they are a team Ireland should be looking to beat on a regular basis. The challenge facing Ireland is gaining ground on those above them; Canada and the USA are well within Ireland's reach, but the gap to France, New Zealand and England will be a long-term issue.
Given the World Cup running through October and November, it's unlikely Ireland will get another proper hit-out between now and the Six Nations next spring.
As such, it's even more important to back up last week's win.
