Ireland vs  Japan

Friendly International (Rugby Union):

The Japanese put up a tremendous effort last week against the might British & Irish Lions, losing by only 18 points at the end. Today they face the Irish who are without several of their key players, while they are on tour with the B&I Lions.

Having seen off the Irish in their last meeting at the World Cup, they will arrive full of confidence which can see them prevail with the aid of a +13 point start.
