Nov 12 : Japan have made one change to their starting lineup and one more on the bench for the Nations Championship clash against England at Twickenham on Saturday.
• Coach Eddie Jones named his side on Thursday and kept faith with the bulk of the team that came close against Wales in Cardiff last Saturday, losing 28-21
• Riku Tokito, who shone with the Japanese sevens team at the Nagoya Asian Games, will make his debut on the left wing, replacing the injured Inoke Burua in the only change to the starting XV
• On the bench, scrumhalf Shinobu Fujiwara comes into the reckoning in place of Kenta Fukuda, who scored a try after coming on as a replacement last week
