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.

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.

Why Japan and South Korea bickerThe two East Asian countries are both liberal democracies and firm regional allies of America. Why can't they get along? A cat and a dog, they are both your pets and always please you, but they still have their own honours to fight with each other for a cup of milk. Said that to Nazi and Jews to get along.
