What channel is England v Japan International match on? Kick-off time and live stream
Check out our guide about how to watch England v Japan in the Autumn Internationals 2022 including TV details and UK time.
Eddie Jones’ England will hope to bounce back on Saturday afternoon against Japan following defeat to Argentina at Twickenham last Sunday.
It was hardly the start that England were looking for in the Autumn Internationals as their performance fell flat on the way to a 29-30 defeat.
Jones has been able to recall experienced hooker Jamie George to his squad, but it is unlikely that things are going to get any easier for England, who take on New Zealand and South Africa this November.
Jamie Joseph’s Japan arrive in London two weeks removed from their last Test. They took on the All Blacks in Tokyo and pushed Ian Foster’s side close following a red card for the visiting side. The game ended 38-31 in favour of the visiting team.
After two weeks to reflect and refocus, Japan will fly high into this game with the talents of Kotaro Matsushima, Siosaia Fifita and Ryoto Makamura to call on. England will certainly be tested in defence and must unpick their opposition with the ball in hand themselves.
As a result of England’s defeat to Argentina, predicting which of these two sides will wrap up the victory here is more unclear that England fans would have hoped. On paper, the home side are favourites, but with a lack of confidence and a Japanese team known for causing upsets, it looks too close to call.
