Ryohei Yamanaka comes in at fullback to replace William Tupou‚ who drops out of the 23.

Tupou suffered a concussion in Japan’s win over Scotland at Yokohama with sprightly winger Lomano Lava Lemeki named among the replacements as cover for the back three.

Japan‚ it is widely anticipated‚ will mount a far more serious challenge when they meet the Springboks at Tokyo Stadium on Sunday. Lock Thompson will become the first player to play 14 RWC matches for Japan‚ extending his record‚ while Leitch will play his 13th match and hooker Horie his 12th.
