Can Tuipulotu lead the All Blacks to victory, or will Japan pull off an epic upset? Find out more!

The excitement is palpable as the All Blacks prepare to face Japan in Yokohama, kicking off their five-Test Northern Tour. This match is more than just a game; it’s a chance for Captain Patrick Tuipulotu to make history. With his determination not to be the first All Blacks captain to feel the sting of defeat against the Brave Blossoms, Tuipulotu knows the pressure is on. He admitted that the thought of an upset does play on his mind, but he's ready to rally his team to start the tour with a bang.

Eddie Jones’ Japan team is primed to put up a fierce challenge against the All Blacks, vowing to bring a fast-paced style of play to the iconic International Stadium. With preparations in full swing, Jones is betting on a rejuvenated squad with a blend of youth and experience. His strategy is a bold one, as he aims to overturn the odds against a New Zealand side that's historically unbeaten against Japan. The Brave Blossoms are coming off a strong performance stature and seem ready to turn the tables.

In a nod to the growing unity between New Zealand and Japan, NZR+ has partnered with famed Japanese YouTuber Fischer's, creating an exciting content series that will showcase the overwhelming anticipation leading up to the match. This fun collaboration is expected to bring extra attention to grassroots rugby in Japan, and who knows, perhaps even inspire a future generation of rugby stars!

As the fans gear up for what's sure to be an unforgettable showdown, key insights emerge regarding both teams. The All Blacks head into the match as the top-rated team in the world, but the Brave Blossoms are not to be underestimated. History has shown us that every game tells a different story.

And here’s a fun fact: The All Blacks have played against Japan five times before, and they’ve won each match by a significant margin, often scoring more than 60 points! On the flip side, Japan made headlines for their stunning victory against South Africa in the 2015 Rugby World Cup, proving that anything can happen in the world of rugby. Let’s see if they can conjure some magic against the legends from New Zealand this weekend!
