What channel is Japan v England Summer Internationals 2024 match on? Kick-off time, TV details and live stream
Check out how to watch Japan v England in a Summer Internationals 2024 match, including TV details and more.
England face Japan in a fixture which is effectively a warm-up match for their two-test series against the All Blacks in New Zealand next month.
The match will be played at the National Stadium in Tokyo, the former 2020 Olympic Stadium, on Saturday 22nd June.
There is added intrigue to Saturday’s clash, as Steve Borthwick will face off against former England coach Eddie Jones, who is in the midst of his second stint in charge of Japan.
Borthwick faces a huge list of injured and ineligible players. It’s a valuable opportunity for younger players to gain confidence and assert themselves into the side.
Marcus Smith has been given the opportunity to cement his place as England’s fly-half as he will start against Japan in the absence of Owen Farrell and George Ford.
