England Rugby Faces Pressure Against Japan

Eddie Jones, head coach of Japan, is set to face his former team England at Twickenham amidst discussions of his controversial coaching style, highlighted in Danny Care's autobiography. England, currently on a five-match losing streak, is under pressure to secure a win against Japan after recent defeats to top teams. Assistant coach Andrew Strawbridge acknowledged the mounting pressure but emphasized the team's focus on maintaining their core values. Meanwhile, Japan's hooker Mamoru Harada expressed confidence in their evolving 'super-fast' rugby style under Jones, aiming for an upset victory. The match marks Jones's first return to Twickenham since his sacking in 2022, raising questions about his legacy and England's recent struggles. Both teams are eager to prove themselves, with Japan looking to demonstrate their growth since their heavy defeat to England earlier this year.
