Japan v Wales Live: Team news, TV details and score updates

Wales take on Japan in Kobe today as they look to finally end the losing run at Test level.

Last weekend's first Test saw the Brave Blossoms come from 19-7 down to win 24-19 in Kitakyushu as Matt Sherratt's side wilted in the extreme conditions. There'll be no sun blazing down on the players, with the roof of Noevir Stadium posing a different challenge in the Japanese heat.

Defeat today would see Wales having lost 19 Tests in a row - a record for a Tier 1 nation.

Sherratt has made four changes to his starting XV. Taulupe Faletau, Ben Carter and Keiron Assiratti all miss out, with Aaron Wainwright, Freddie Thomas and Archie Griffin taking their place.

In the backline, there's just one change - with Dan Edwards replacing Sam Costelow at fly-half. On the bench, Chris Coleman, Reuben Morgan-Williams and Keelan Giles are all in line for Test debuts.

Kick-off is at 6:50am, with the match being broadcast on S4C. You can also follow our live blog below.
