Overview
- Both sides confirmed matchday squads on Thursday for the Nations Championship test at Twickenham on Saturday with England making ten changes from the team that beat Australia.
- England have several fresh injury setbacks after the Australia game, with wing Immanuel Feyi-Waboso ruled out for the rest of the autumn following ankle scans.
- Japan kept a mostly settled XV and gave Riku Tokito his Test debut on the left wing as coach Eddie Jones said the squad trained 'quite dirty' and planned 'something a bit different.'
- The match kicks off at 16:40 GMT on Saturday and will be shown live free-to-air in the UK on ITV and streamed on ITVX.
- England have won all six previous capped meetings with Japan, leaving the Brave Blossoms heavy underdogs and putting emphasis on England managing player minutes ahead of a high-profile All Blacks fixture and the Nations Championship finals weekend.
