Former Wallabies boss Dave Rennie restarts his club coaching career when the third edition of Japan Rugby League One kicks off on Saturday.
Rennie's Kobelco Kobe Steelers, who host newly-promoted Mie Honda Heat, feature an all-star cast, with World Rugby Player of the Year Ardie Savea making his debut, while All Black teammate Brodie Retallick has returned after two seasons at the club in 2020 and 2021, and will lead the team.
