Wales, currently ranked 11th in the world rugby union standings, are looking to secure a double victory over Japan this autumn to cap a revival year. Japan sit one place below Wales at 12th in the rankings, setting up a closely matched contest between the two nations.
The fixture forms part of Wales' 2026 international schedule as they aim to build momentum following a challenging period. A series win over the Brave Blossoms would represent a significant step forward for the Welsh side under their current coaching setup.
