Scotland defeat Japan with a bonus point to remain in contention to beat Italy to the WXV2 title.
A penalty try levelled matters just before half-time in Cape Town and Emma Orr went over to give Scotland the lead early in the second period.
The Italians have 10 points from two matches and face the United States on Saturday needing a bonus-point win by more than 25 points to snatch the title.But they found themselves behind when Iroha Nagata evaded Rachel McLachlan's tackle to cross on the right and Ayasa Otsuka confidently converted.Handling errors cost Scotland at the other end but they forced a series of scrums towards the end of the half and ultimately a penalty try, with Japan's Sachiko Kato yellow carded.
Fine phase play put replacement Grant in in the left corner but Nelson's conversion attempt was short. Bonar pounced on a stray kick to power over for try number five and replacement Meryl Smith added the conversion.Bryan Easson's side may ultimately secure the WVX2 title, there will be no promotion from the second tier for any side until 2026."We knew that Japan were going to come out of the traps and it was a tough first half. At half-time, we said to stick to our processes and play in the right areas.
