Japan
vs
France
Saturday 18th July 6:40 PM (AEST) at Japan National Stadium, Tokyo
Japan +27.5 @ $1.90

Japan has been a talking point throughout the Nations Championship, and for all the right reasons. They scored an upset win over Italy to kick things off before losing 38-20 to Ireland last week. Scoring 20 points against a tough Irish defence is a great effort, and they should be proud of their standard of play. Returning to Japan should make a big difference, and although France is a top-tier nation, getting a +27.5 start is significant. Japan has a way of slowing things down, and it could be a real defensive battle in Tokyo.
