Japan and France will play a Nations Championship rugby match in Tokyo on Saturday. Both teams enter the contest with one win and one loss. The match is expected to feature a forward-heavy style of play.
Forecasters predict temperatures near 30 degrees Celsius with possible rain, conditions that reduce the likelihood of a fast, open passing game. Both teams have made changes to their front rows. France arrives after a 42-26 win over Australia in Brisbane.
