What should England supporters know about Eddie Jones‘ Japan ahead of their Nations Championship meeting at Twickenham?
Ben Jaycock is joined by Japanese rugby expert Steve Noble to examine the Brave Blossoms’ development, tactical identity and form since Jones returned as head coach.
They discuss Japan’s 28-21 defeat by Wales, the key players England must watch, the influence of Japan Rugby League One and whether the national side has developed the physicality required to compete with the world’s leading teams.
Steve also assesses where Japan could trouble England, how Eddie Jones’ second spell is viewed domestically and what would constitute a successful afternoon at Twickenham.
