Japan head coach Jamie Joseph named a squad with a blend of new and experienced players as the side look to bounce back against France in Saturday's second test, while the Six Nations champions made only one change to their team.
Japan, led by hooker Atsushi Sakate, lost 42-23 in the first test last weekend after having gone into the halftime break at 13 points all.Seungsin Lee has retained the number 10 jersey for Saturday's match after his solid performance at five-eight in the last game, while veteran Yu Tamura returns to the team on the bench as the reserve playmaker.
Naoto Saito at scrumhalf and reserve hooker Shota Horie also return to the squad after missing out last weekend, while Takayusa Tsuji is set to earn his first cap.
He is joined by 13 players with fewer than 10 test caps."Last week we were able to play well and put pressure on France, but in the second half we lost a bit of control and started overplaying at times.
