Japan v Scotland - Second Test

Dougie Vipond introduces live coverage from Ajinomoto Stadium in Tokyo of the second match of a two-test series between 2019 World Cup hosts Japan and Scotland.

Dougie Vipond introduces live coverage of the second match of a two-test series between 2019 World Cup hosts Japan and Scotland.

Scotland conclude their two test series against Japan in the stadium which will stage the first match of the Rugby World Cup in a little over three years. Japan won three of their four group matches in the 2015 tournament, including one of the biggest shocks in the international game when they defeated South Africa 34-32 in Brighton.

However the Scots gave a clinical display against the Brave Blossoms four days later running in five tries and securing a 45-10 victory. With the pools for 2019 being drawn before the end of the year, and Japan only one point behind Scotland in the world rankings, the visitors will be hoping to reverse the 24-28 defeat they suffered in the 1989 non-cap international in the Asian capital.
