Ireland have two wins from two on their summer tour, having beaten the USA last weekend, and Japan in the first of two tests against the 'Brave Blossoms.'
Today they won 50-22 in Shizuoka.
There were braces for Keith Earls, Dan Leavy and Jack Conan, while Garry Ringrose also scored a try.
Ulster's Paddy Jackson converted five of them, as well as adding a penalty, and didn't miss a place-kick.

The hosts had trailed 31-3 at the break, and then returned a number of scores in the second half to put some pressure on Joe Schmidt's side.
Keith Earls made history by scoring his ninth try of the season, the most in a single season for an Irish rugby player, and Ulster's Kieran Treadwell earned his first Irish cap.
Debut! Congrats to @Treadz5 on your first @IrishRugby cap 🙌
