BURNABY, B.C. -- Japan rugby coach Eddie Jones might want to bottle whatever he told his team at halftime on Saturday night. Down 25-9 at the break, Japan stormed out of the gate and outscored Canada 25-0 over the final 40 minutes to stun the hosts 34-25 in the first game of the Pacific Nations Cup tournament for both countries. Jones is back coaching after suffering a stroke in October, but that didnt stop him from letting loose on his players after a disappointing first half. "Ill tell you what, it wasnt good for my blood pressure," said the 54-year-old. "We thought we were fitter than them. We thought if we could just hang in there ... we were just like a boxer on the ropes hanging on there. And if you get a chance to throw a jab, you throw it, and thats what we were able to do. "It takes a bit of courage to do that, so Im really pleased with that from the boys." Japan ran ragged in the second half, busting through the line for a pair of tries that left Canadian head coach Kieran Crowley shaking his head. "We really played well in that first half. We put pressure on them, we scored a couple really good tries," he said. "Second half, we had a couple bad defensive errors from set plays, which you cant afford to do. They were pretty soft tries, really. "Japan just took it to us and they deserved to win with that second-half performance." Yoshikazu Fujita, Yu Tamura and Hendrik Tui had the tries for the visitors, who won their eighth straight overall, while Ayumu Goromaru kicked five penalties and added two converts. John Moonlight, Ciaran Hearn and Taylor Paris had the tries for Canada, while James Pritchard added two penalties and two converts. Japan started to claw its way back after halftime with a try in the 42nd minute as Fujita dove over the line, and after Goromaru missed the conversion, the score stood at 25-14. Goromaru then kicked his fourth penalty of the night in the 56th minute to make it 25-17 before Tamura broke through the Canadian midfield untouched in the 63rd, with Goromanus conversion cutting the deficit to just one. Clearly rattled, Canada could barely hold onto the ball and Tui completed the comeback by again busting through the line to make it 31-25 after Goromarus conversion. Goromaru added to his point total by booting another penalty on the last kick of the game for the 34-25 final. "We always knew wed have to cope with the physical onslaught of Canada at home for the first 40," said Jones. "If we wouldnt have given away that try away (before) halftime we would have been pretty happy, but 25-9 at halftime, youre battling to stay in the game." Despite watching his team get bossed around in the second half, Tyler Ardron -- a 22-year-old from Lakefield, Ont., who plays for Ospreys in Wales and captained Canada for the first time -- saw some positives. "Tons of things to work on still," said Ardron, who made just his 14th appearance for the national team. "But we executed a lot things that we wanted to and I think if you look at that first half, a lot of things went our way and in the second half a couple bounces maybe went their way." The six-team Pacific Nations Cup tournament also includes Samoa, Fiji, Tonga and the United States. Canada will play world No. 10 Scotland at Torontos BMO Field next Saturday before travelling to Sacramento, Calif., to face the U.S. on June 21 in another Pacific Nations Cup match. The tournament consists of two groups of three teams, with each country taking on the other two in its conference. The top teams from each meet in Novembers final. Before his teams dominating second half, the turning point appeared to come in the 34th minute when Japans Shota Horie was sent to the sin bin for a foul, leaving his team down a man. Pritchard made the ensuing penalty from close range and Canada opened the floodgates with two impressive tries to close out the half. Moonlight finished off a good move for a try in the 37th minute before Paris broke through the Japanese line moments later, with Pritchard converting both for a 25-9 lead. "(We) definitely didnt think it was over," said Ardron. "I think we felt that if we played our game over the next 40 minutes we would be comfortable, but that clearly wasnt the case. "Credit to Japan -- they came out and played their game and we didnt turn it around." Japan, ranked No. 12 in the world, has been a pain for 15th-ranked Canada over the last several years. The Japanese tied Canada at the last two Rugby World Cups, with the 23-23 draw in 2011 helping to push the Canadians to fourth in their pool to miss out on automatic qualification for the 2015 tournament. Japan then beat Canada 16-13 in last years Pacific Nations Cup, a result that handed the championship trophy to Fiji. Crowley said earlier in the week that a win over Japan on home soil would help propel his side up the International Rugby Boards rankings and his players started brightly in front of a partisan crowd at Swangard Stadium. Canada had sustained pressure early in the match, with Hearn going over the line for the opening try in the seventh minute, but Pritchard missed the conversion for a 5-0 lead. Goromaru got Japan on the board with a penalty kick in the 12th minute, and he connected again three minutes later to give his team a 6-5 advantage. Pritchard then added a penalty in the 18th minute to restore the Canadian lead at 8-6, but Goromaru kicked his third penalty of the half in the 29th to make it 9-8 Japan. "Rugbys on a bit of a high at the moment in Canada," said Crowley. "Weve just got to get some of these tight games across the line. Japan have had our number a little bit the last few times weve played them, which is unfortunate." Notes: Scotland beat the U.S. 24-6 on Saturday night in Houston. ...

CALGARY -- Bo Levi Mitchells 15-yard touchdown pass to Marquay McDaniel late in the fourth quarter lifted the Calgary Stampeders to a 26-22 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Friday. Tiger-Cat quarterback Henry Burris achieved a career 50,000 passing yards, joining Anthony Calvillo, Damon Allen, Danny McManus and Ron Lancaster in that club. But the Stampeders (9-2) didnt let their former quarterback have all the glory and came from behind to stay unbeaten at McMahon Stadium this season. Calgary extended its regular-season winning streak at home to nine straight games. Mitchell connected with McDaniel at 13:42 of the fourth quarter and also threw a touchdown catch to Maurice Price in front of an announced 26,649. Rene Paredes made all four field goals he attempted, making him 9 for 9 in his last two games. With 72 rushing yards, running back Jon Cornish surpassed 1,000 for a second straight season. Burris earned the majority of his career yards while a Stampeder. The 38-year-old was Calgarys quarterback for nine seasons, including seven as a starter, until he was traded to Hamilton in January 2012. Burris also spent three seasons with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. He was 26 for 39 in passing for 408 yards and a pair of touchdown passes with two interceptions. With the more veteran Kevin Glenn and Drew Tate sidelined with injuries, the 23-year-old Mitchell continued to show he can be a starting quarterback in the CFL. Mitchell was 20 for 30 in passing for 252 yards and two touchdown throws. With his team leading 22-19 with just over three minutes remaining, Hamilton kicker Luca Congis 37-yard attempt hit an upright. Congi was 0 for 2 in the game. Paredes pulled Calgaary within three points to start the fourth quarter on a 24-yard field goal.dddddddddddd The drive started with Rob Maver faking the punt and throwing the ball to Matt Walter to keep the Stampeders on the march. Paredes was good from 43 yards at 10:27 of the third after Gables four-yard rushing TD for Hamilton at 6:57. Burris reached CFL quarterback elite status with a six-yard touchdown throw to Onrea Jones at 14:37 of the second quarter, which gave the Ticats a 15-13 lead heading into the second half. Calgary led 13-8 at 5:41 on Mitchells 80-yard touchdown throw to Price. Stampeder head coach John Hufnagel had admonished Price in a previous game for slowing down to celebrate before the end zone, so Price cheekily ran the ball to Calgarys dressing room door. Calgary mustered just one field goal in the first half off a pair of long returns for 173 yards by Larry Taylor. He ran a punt back 70 yards to open the second quarter, but Calgary couldnt punch the ball in from the 10. McDaniel dropped a Mitchell pass and then Calgary quarterback fumbled and turned over the ball over. Paredes made his second of a pair of first-quarter field goals from 29 yards at 13:52 after Hamiltons Josh Bartel 69-yard punt single at 8:47. Congi was wide on a 47-yard attempt in the first quarter and Taylor race the ball 103 yards back to Hamiltons 17-yard-line. The Stamps settled for a 15-yard field goal at 6:32. A spectacular one-handed catch by Fantuz capped a 79-yard, four play scoring drive on the visitors first possession off the kickoff.
