[citation needed] When Eddie Jones took over as coach after the World Cup, Goromaru was recalled for a third chance at international rugby 18 months since his last cap, following good form for Yamaha Jubilo where he was the leading points scorer in the Top League and named in the team of the season.

[5] In November 2012, his goal kicking proved crucial to Japan's first wins in Europe against Romania and Georgia where he scored 36 points over the two matches.

[7] However, he bounced back immediately and delivered a 100% kicking success rate which saw him named man of the match in the 2nd Test where Japan completed their first ever win over Wales.

[8][9] Goromaru was instrumental in Japan's historic victory over South Africa in the 2015 World Cup, scoring 24 points (one try, two conversions, five penalties), a game widely described as the greatest upset in the history of rugby union.

The rumoured move became official on 8 June 2016, when Toulon announced it had signed Goromaru to a one-year contract, effective with the 2016–17 season, with an option year.
