Alex Mitchell England face off against Japan in Rugby World Cup Round 2 on Sun 17th September 2023 at Allianz Riviera. Kick-off in the UK is scheduled for 20:00. In South Africa it’s at 21:00 SAST, 07:00 NZST in New Zealand, 05:00 AEST in Australia and 12:00 EST in the US.
England won the last encounter but Japan are in the best form of their last 5 games.
Heading into the fixture the two sides are separated by just 4 places in the rankings with England in position 5 and Japan in position 9, underlining just how tight this match could be.
The official squads for England vs Japan will become available around 24- 48 hours before kick-off. Teams can still make changes up to an hour before the match however.
