Japan ready to welcome France to steamy Tokyo for Nations Championship clash

Japan ready to welcome France to steamy Tokyo for Nations Championship clash

Japan and France are preparing for a heavyweight arm-wrestle in Tokyo on Saturday, with the heat and humidity set to turn their Nations Championship contest into a forwards’ battle.

The mercury is forecast to hover around 30 degrees Celsius in Tokyo, with the possibility of rain making a fast and accurate passing game even more unlikely.

Both teams have made wholesale changes to their front rows, as France arrives in Tokyo fresh from a 42-26 demolition of Australia in Brisbane.
