"It hurt like crazy. We were all out in the sea and I was the only one who got stung. I'm never going in the ocean again," he was quoted as saying by Kyodo News after training on Saturday.
Yamada, who was replaced by match winner Karne Hesketh in the final minute of the victory over the Springboks, said he was fully fit to face Samoa in their third Group B clash on Saturday in Milton Keynes.
"I finally feel good again. I'm not hurting anywhere now," said Yamada, who spent last year with the Western Force in Super Rugby.
