Wallaby winger Marika Koroibete was among the scorers as the Saitama Wild Knights became the first Japanese corporate side to beat a Super Rugby Pacific team in beating New Zealand's Gallagher Chiefs in The Cross Border Rugby competition.
Coached by Kiwi former Wallaby boss Robbie Deans, the six-time champions of Japan were too strong for last year's Super Rugby finalists in Sunday's second Cross Border contest, winning 38-14 at Kumagaya after leading 14-0 at halftime.
