Well for an hour it looked like Wales' losing streak was going to come to an end, but Eddie Jones and Japan had different ideas.

From 19-7 up in the first half, Wales failed to score another point, and a late surge in tempo and accuracy from Japan was more than Matt Sherratt's side could handle.

Blame the ill-discipline, the conditions or the confidence, ultimately it was not good enough for Wales and it's now an 18th consecutive Test defeat.

There will be another chance to end that run next weekend, but first they face the tough task of picking themselves up from this defeat.

Thank you for getting up bright and early to join us.

Wales captain Dewi Lake speaking to Scrum V: "Probably just ill-discipline for us.

"Whether that be penalty count, or not taking opportunities in the 22, a couple of mistakes cost us dearly, especially in the second-half.

"We just allowed Japan to play their game in the second-half, and they're tough to stop when they're playing at speed.

"Obviously conditions are going to play a factor, but we're not blaming that, again we weren't clinical enough. Obviously the weather was a factor but we'll look at ourselves first."

They'll be disappointed with that, frustrated more than anything, because they had enough to win the game.

Once Japan got a sniff it was difficult to reel the game back in for Wales.

We said in the first half when Wales failed to convert three or four attacking opportunities that they may live to regret it, and so it proved.

Stay with us as we get reaction from Japan.

Wales fell out of the habit of winning games a long time ago, but this would have been the one they would have underlined.

Awful, that's all you can say.

That second-half was shocking, too many mistakes, no structure, I expected so much better from Wales.

Japan could not string together more than two or three phases for the first 50 minutes of the game, but something clicked in the last half an hour.

Wales could not deal with the increased tempo, and never looked like getting back into the game once Japan stepped on the gas.

Wales lose an 18th consecutive Test match.

From 19-7 ahead, Wales have lost after failing to score a single point in the second half.

20 seconds left, and Japan still have the ball.

A word for Japan captain Michael Leitch, who has been excellent.

At 36-years old, he has helped lead his side back in this second half.

Just 90 seconds to go, but Japan have the ball in the Welsh half.

One more penalty against Wales would likely end the game.

Aaron Wainwright is the latest Wales player to knock the ball on.

Everyone on both sides is blowing now, it's frantic stuff.

Even the high ball, which has been an area which Wales have dominated, is now going wrong for Matt Sherratt's side, as Josh Adams knocks the ball forward in the air.

Wales have not scored a single point in the second half.

Japan have the chance to win the game, but get their counter-attack slightly wrong.

Instead they kick the ball back to Wales.

Three minutes left for Wales to end their 17-game losing Test streak.

That is unforgivable, Wales can't be losing line-outs in Japan's 22.

You can't be doing that at the international level.

And once again the line-out falters, this time Aaron Wainwright knocking the ball on.

Dear, oh dear.

Another Welsh line-out is stolen by Japan, and the hosts clear up towards half way.

Suddenly the clock is against Wales.

Finally Wales are heading in the right direction.

It is an excellent grubber kick from Blair Murray, which Josh Adams goes hurtling after.

It's a difficult one to deal with for Japan, who can only put it out for a Welsh line-out inside their own 22.

You can see what that meant for the Japanese.

The second-half has been all Japan, where was that Wales from the first-half?
