Ireland defence trainer Andy Farrell has called to utilize their shock defeat as motivation for the rest of their World Cup campaign by Japan.
Ireland will secure a place with wins from Russia on Samoa and Thursday October.
I feel a setback, you can use it in the ideal manner, said Farrell.
They are not perfect but if you use them to your benefit they can be powerful.
Five days after the magnificent outcome in Shizuoka, Ireland have a chance to get their campaign back on course at the indoor Misaki Stadium of Kobe.
Japan are with nine points in two games, with Ireland sitting one point before Samoa and Scotland.
On Wednesday, Farrell – that will take over in Joe Schmidt following the tournament as head coach – insisted Irelands World Cup aspirations werent over despite the disappointing loss.
You may look at the last three World Cups, South Africa losing to Japan (in 2015) and losing from the semi-final 20-18, said the former England assistant trainer.
In 2011, France seemed to become disarray throughout that contest and there is a disagreement about whether they should have won or not at the final.
Back in 2007 I had been part of the England squad that got a rip-off South Africa. There was a little chaos inside this camp and they were able to get into the final and (there was) a debatable attempt which has been disallowed.
This week said because it gives them a chance to reassume control of their campaign 36,, the short turnaround is in Irelands favour.
Since coming in Kobe coaches and players have been keen to highlight their fair appraisal of what went wrong at the motto of the team along with Japan.
Following a couple of days of knowing why (we lost), were in good spirits, said Farrell.
We are back on track and ready to establish a point
Schmidt has made 11 changes for the Russia game, together with Garry Ringrose called to start at center having played 80 minutes.
Bundee Aki returns to join the Leinster man in midfield after being withdrawn in the first half of the opening game against Scotland having neglected a head injury assessment.
Considering the nature of the previous outcome, there is little Ireland will do against Russia which will restore confidence levels to the level it was before the Japan game, nevertheless Aki is convinced their effort will move on Thursday among fans.
What Ive noticed about this group (is that) we develop together as a team, he said.
As a team we constantly concentrate on ourselves.
When the stress is on and everybody is talking us down, everyone steps up.
Defence trainer Andy Farrell says Ireland can use the shock defeat by Japan for their advantage during the rest of the World Cup.
