Wallabies to face Japan in sweltering Osaka

Australia's rugby team, the Wallabies, will play against Japan in Osaka under new head coach Les Kiss. This match marks the beginning of a two-test series, with the second test scheduled for Townsville, Australia. Kiss took over as coach in April 2023 but could not assume the role immediately due to his existing contract with the Queensland Reds. He has implemented several changes to the squad, aiming to create depth and secure a strong start ahead of the Rugby World Cup in 2027. Japan's coach, Eddie Jones, previously coached Australia and now leads Japan, aiming to challenge the Wallabies despite the high temperatures expected during the match. Japan hopes to continue their recent performance, having beaten Italy in the Nations Championship but losing to Ireland and France.
