England are bidding to stop the rot of three losses in a row this Autumn – and five losses stretching back to the summer – against the Brave Blossoms at Allianz Stadium Twickenham.

It will mark the hosts' final Test match of 2024, with pressure mounting after just four wins in 11 in the calendar year. One of those morale-boosting victories came away from home against Japan, an eight-try 52-17 demolition in Tokyo in June, and head coach Steve Borthwick could do with another against his old mentor.

Jones, returning to the scene where he spent seven years at the helm between 2015 and 2022, would love nothing more than to heap more pain on his former employers.

Resisting wholesale changes, Borthwick has restored full-back George Furbank and flanker Tom Curry to the starting XV. Most notably, however, is the addition of uncapped 20-year-old prop Asher Opoku-Fordjour and 22-year-old fly-half Fin Smith to the bench.

Meanwhile, Japan have made three changes to the starting XV and five to the replacements that lost heavily to France a fortnight ago. Captain Naoto Saito retains his place at scrum-half, while Nicolas McCurran replaces Harumichi Tatekawa in the No.10 jersey.

Every Autumn Series match including England vs Japan is live on TNT Sports in the UK and can be streamed via Discovery Plus. If watching Down Under you can catch the match live on Stan Sport. And rugby fans following from the US can tune into all the action on Peacock TV.
