No one picked up the TV contract for this to WR has put it everywhere in RugbyPass (which they now own)

Looks like England are not blooding youngsters but getting a good practice run in before hitting the ABs

World Rugby and the RFU have announced that RugbyPass TV will be the FREE and exclusive destination for fans in the UK and Ireland wishing to watch LIVE coverage of the men’s test match between Japan and England in Tokyo on 22 June (kick-off 06:50 BST).

UK & Ireland only?

Oh maybe you're right, I only saw an article a while ago. So no one in the UK wanted to pay for it so WR giving it for free

Duluth

Doesn't look like any coverage in NZ. That's a surprise given we're playing the Poms soon

If it’s the same guy, I saw him play for the Aussie under 19s/20s. Was pretty quick

It would be pretty easy. I'm quite impressed with the rugbypass app for watching sevens. Just can't have it on two or more different devices at the same time under the same login... but creating a new account is easy enough.

Is that a top xv for Japan or just like a trial? Weak and odd selection

England absorb Japanese pressure and adventure and when they have their first real possession for a while they carve up the midfield and Marcus Smith goes in under the sticks untouched
