From downtown Tokyo, David Pembroke is joined by Eddie Jones and Ewen McKenzie for a revealing look ahead to Japan v Australia — a test match full of pressure, pride, and opportunity.
With Joe Schmidt naming a drastically changed Wallabies side, the trio unpack what this means for cohesion, confidence, and strategy. Eddie reflects on Japan’s strong week of preparation, how his young side is learning consistency, and what it takes to go toe-to-toe with a major rugby nation. Meanwhile, Ewen explains how Japan can exploit Australia’s lack of combinations and set-piece rhythm.
They also zoom out to the global picture — from referee inconsistency and breakdown laws to Japan’s new tier-one status and what it means for rugby’s future.
