Eddie: Japan can create new history

Eddie Jones senses Japan are on the cusp of finally winning a Test against the Wallabies.

The two teams meet in Townsville on Saturday.

Despite eight straight defeats since they first played each other in 1975, Japan are a team growing in confidence, losing their last two games against the Wallabies by just four points and three points respectively.

That included last week’s narrow 35-32 loss in steamy Osaka.

With Australia resting some of their big guns and making a raft of changes, Jones believes the time could be right to finally snap the drought.

“We haven’t achieved what we want to achieve yet, which is victory over Australia,” the Australian said of a team he used to coach.

“Just looking at the history in front of me, we’ve played eight games against Australia as a country. The first five games was an average loss of 33 points, and the last two games our average loss was three-and-a-half points.

“So we’re moving in the right direction … this is an opportunity for us to create new history for Japan and this group of players.”

Jones has made five changes to his starting line-up, with Tiennan Costley coming in at openside flank and Harry Hockings returning at lock.

He will have two university students among the backs – Yoshitaka Yazaki on the right wing and Ryunosuke Ito at flyhalf – while Shunsuke Uenobo starts at inside centre and Haruto Kida on the left wing.

“We’ve had an excellent preparation. Couldn’t have asked for more from the players, so we’re ready to go,” said Jones, adding that they have been working on their shortcomings.

“We let ourselves down with our execution in the last game. We created good opportunities. Really focused on that in training this week.”

TEAM: Gordon returns as Wallabies ring changes

Wallabies coach Les Kiss, whose team won in Osaka in his first match in charge despite a 20-minute red card, is attempting to steer the Wallabies to three consecutive victories for the first time in two years.

While his side got the job done, the fluency shown in their previous Test, a 57-10 romp over Italy, was missing with playmaker Declan Meredith underwhelming and dropped.

Carter Gordon returns from a calf injury to replace him among eight changes.

Only Josh Nasser and Harry Wilson have been retained in the forward pack, with heavyweights including Rob Valetini and Allan Alaalatoa rested.

“This is an important Test match for us, we’ve won two in a row now, but it’ll take more this week to get over Japan,” said Kiss.

“They were very good last week, and we know that Eddie’s a very savvy coach. So we’re going to have to be very good and improve in certain areas.”

While Kiss is looking to put together a string of good results in the lead-up to a home World Cup next year, he is seeking more than just victories.

The former Australian rugby league player wants his side to play with passion, telling them to “fight for anything” but also “have a bit of fun along the way”.

It is the first match between the two nations on Australian soil in 39 years.

Boland have it all to do against Lions at Wits

The Boland Cavaliers have a tough task ahead of them, travelling to the Lions without a couple of their backline players for their Currie Cup match on Friday afternoon.

The teams clash in the fifth round (kick-off 3pm) after both suffered defeats last week.

The Lions fell poorly 31-19 to the Griquas in Kimberley, only mustering a decent performance in the last quarter, while Boland were also obviously the weaker side during their 19-12 defeat to the Sharks in Durban.

Each team now has two wins and two defeats, though the Lions are third on the log, just one point ahead of fifth-placed Boland.

Wits to draw a crowd

With just two regular-season matches to follow, the teams will want to kick into gear and secure the results that will earn them a play-off spot.

Especially so for the Lions, who have the unenviable distraction, or perhaps motivation, of balancing this with preparation for their match against the All Blacks in the Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry series at Ellis Park next Tuesday evening.

But a different squad and coaching staff are preparing the Lions’ usual United Rugby Championship team for that, barring the omission of one or two Springboks and the banned Asenathi Ntlabakanye.

The Lions and Boland play their match at Wits Rugby Stadium in the only Currie Cup fixture at the venue this season.

It comes after the Lions struggled to sell tickets to games at their crime-affected inner-city stadium.

A one-off game played at the University of Johannesburg Stadium, against the Bulls, drew almost four times the crowd of their previous match at Ellis Park.

Wits is expected to produce a similar atmosphere, as regular fans and students turn up to watch quality rugby.

The crowd support may also have an impact on the Lions, who produced an excellent performance to easily outmuscle the Bulls 42-19 at UJ.

Boland understrength against Lions

Boland will also be without wing Domenic Smit and centre Chris Smit, who contracted colds since the Sharks defeat.

Cornell Engelbrecht replaces Domenic on the right wing, while Sibusiso Sangweni returns from injury to join the bench, which now features regular captain Thurlow Marsh.

Lock Marlyn Williams takes over leadership of the team, and inside centre Jurick Lewis plays his 50th game for Boland.

Boland otherwise retain their halfback combination (Louis Schreuder and Ashlon Davids) as well as their front three (Dayan van der Westhuizen, Joshua Eras and Mthokozisi Gumede).

Head to head, each side got the better of the other at home last season, including the Lions’ 67-19 win in the semi-final at Ellis Park.

Though they’re playing at Wits for the first time, the Lions will want to replicate that last performance against the team from Wellington.

The sides also split the honours at home the previous time they clashed in the tournament before that, in 2016.
