Welcome to Ultimate Rugby’s coverage of the international fixture between Japan and Scotland. The Brave Blossoms are coming off a 26-22 away win over Canada a week ago, while it will be Scotland’s first fixture since they went down 35-25 to Ireland in their last Six Nations clash in March. The last time these sides met was at the 2015 Rugby World Cup, with Scotland winning comfortably 45-10. This is the first of two tests, with the second being played in a week’s time

Scotland should have a comfortable win, unless they make the mistake of underestimating the Japanese
