Japan v England

Venue: National Stadium, Tokyo

Kick-off: TBC

Referee: Luc Ramos (France)

England will face Japan at the National Stadium in Tokyo on Saturday 22nd June in the Lipovitan D Challenge Cup.

This will be the first-ever Test match to be played between the two nations in Japan. England did previously tour Japan in 1971, 1979 and 2003, but the fixtures were not counted as official test matches.

In their most recent encounter, England beat Japan 34-12 during a Pool D match at last year's World Cup.

To date, England have played a total of four Test matches against the Brave Blossoms. England maintain a 100% record having won every match.
