Kotaro Matsushima scored a hat-trick as hosts Japan got their World Cup campaign started with a 30-10 win against Russia. Underdogs Russia took an early lead through Kirill Golosnitskiy, but Matsushima scored twice before the break to put the hosts ahead. Pieter Labuschagne broke through to add another after half-time and Matsushima scored his third to claim a four-try bonus point for his side.
