Scotland v Japan

Scottish Gas Murrayfield
Date: 21/11/2026

There are plenty of reasons to be encouraged by Scotland’s qualities. They have every ingredient needed to become a major force – they need to find the happy knack of closing games out when in control. 

They will not find it easy against a Japan side who really do love to shake the world order. Some of their attacking rugby is break-neck, some of their flair incredible, so they will no doubt have what it takes to shake Scotland to their core if the home side don’t get the job done.
