International rugby returns with the end of year tours. First up, to Japan who host the World XV at the Hanazono Rugby Stadium. Japan will get some attention in the next 12 months, with the World Cup less than a year away. They have a nice opportunity to show their world against a star studded World XV. It should be an entertaining encounter

These two teams have met twice before with the World XV winning both games, 45-20 in Tokyo in 2015 and 47-27 in Fukuoka in 2017.
