Eddie Jones will face his former side tomrrow, with England hosting Japan at Twickenham on Saturday afternoon following their opening defeat against Argentina.
The Red Rose were beaten by an impressive Argentina side, it will hope to return to form against Japan this weekend ahead of difficult fixtures against South Africa and New Zealand. Just a year out from the World Cup, Jones will be hopeful that the weekend's performance which was blighted a high penalty count can serve as a lesson ahead of the rest of the Autumn Nations Series.
The Cherry Blossoms have grown massively since their 2019 World Cup quarter final appearance and have enjoyed a positive year, beating Uruguay comfortably in two summer tests before two impressive performances against France which both ended in defeat. Their opening fixture of the autumn saw them take on the All Blacks, losing by a narrow 31-38 margin in Tokyo.
