Japan and Spain face each other in their final match in Group C of the 2025 Women's Rugby World Cup. Spain are third in the group, a point and a place above Japan but both sides have been eiiminated. Here's our match prediction.
This match is being played at the York Community Stadium. Spain have already played once at this ground, being beaten 54-8 by New Zealand in their opening fixture. They followed that with a 43-27 loss to Ireland to end their qualification dreams but did at least achieve a try bonus point with five being scored.
Spain had some good wins when winning a six-team WXV 3 Women tournament with wins over Madagascar, Netherlands and Fiji.
Japan are currently 12th in the world rankings, one place ahead of their opponents. These two sides have met on five previous occasions with Spain winning a couple but Japan triumphant in the other three.
Japan have also lost their first two games in this group. A 42-14 loss to Ireland was then followed by a 62-19 defeat by New Zealand, despite taking an early lead. Their last nine games have produced a draw and eight defeats, last winning in 2023.
We tip Spain to win on a +3.5 points handicap.

Our Japan vs Spain Prediction
There's little between these two countries. They are both already out of the tournament after losing as expected to New Zealand and Ireland. Spain (a place lower in the world rankings) have at least secured a try bonus and have had some wins in the last calendar year.
Japan continues to struggle and prop up the group table. They have struggled for points in their two games played so far. Our Japan v Spain prediction is Spain to win on a +3.5 points handicap.
