The one-off international test match between Japan and Australia will be played in Tokyo this Saturday.
Japan will be the Wallabies' first stop in their end-of-the-year tour. Joe Schmidt's men are looking to build confidence after a 0-2 clean sweep loss in the 2025 Bledisloe Cup against the All Blacks and a disappointing Rugby Championship campaign where they finished third.
Meanwhile, Japan are coming off a strong 2025 Pacific Nations Cup where they almost outclassed Fiji in the Final. While they lost 27-33 in tournament decider, Eddie Jones' Brave Blossoms will hope to make a statement when they take on a Tier-1 opponent like Australia.
