The Japanese national rugby team will be preparing for the test match against England, ranked 5th in the world, on the 12th. I spoke.
The Japan national rugby team, ranked 10th in the world, is strengthening its preparations for the World Cup that will start in France next September.
On the 10th, the players practiced locally and worked up a sweat by running and passing.
Eddie Jones, who led Japan in the 2015 World Cup, is the head coach of England, and Japan has decided to play in the first league of the World Cup.
With Japan losing all nine matches so far, winger Matsushima said, "We can see where we are in this match. I think they will come in. They are trying to make us suffer physically, so we want to put pressure on them.
In addition, flanker Kazuki Himeno said, "I think it will be a good rehearsal for next year's World Cup. Being able to experience the rugby they want to play is a big plus. We need to communicate well as a team, both in attack and defense. I want to do my best,” he said enthusiastically.
