Japan v Ireland: How to watch Rugby World Cup on TV and live stream
Japan and Ireland go head-to-head in a Rugby World Cup Pool A fixture
Ireland head into their second game of the Rugby World Cup full of confidence against host nation Japan.
Joe Schmidt's men battered Scotland in a 27-3 rout to set the standard for the rest of their tournament.
Ireland didn't have to hit top gear to prevail in convincing fashion over the beleaguered Scots, and they will hope to produce a similar display against Japan.
The hosts beat Russia 30-10 in the opening match of the tournament and sit top of Pool A alongside Ireland.
They are not expected to make a huge impact in the grand scheme of the tournament, but a home crowd and points on the board will give Japan hope of progressing beyond the groups.
Ireland are a cut above, a league above, but will need to be on their toes for the match-up.
