South Africa and Japan rugby teams prepare for World Cup warm-up match. Read more:
TOKYO - Friday’s test against South Africa is a “must-perform” match for Japan, coach Jamie Joseph said after naming a strong squad for the contest as the Brave Blossoms finalise preparations for the Rugby World Cup on home soil beginning later this month.
“It is the last game of our preparation, gives our players a real physical experience at the set-piece, at the tackle, in the lineout and in the maul.” “Russia have a very strong pack, a very strong lineout. Samoa is a very strong scrum, Ireland and Scotland will target us in those areas so they play similar rugby to what we are expecting.”
Leitch, who scored a try in Japan’s 34-32 win over South Africa at England 2015, said that the team have come along way in the past four years and are ready to take on the Springboks.
