Wales will look to cap their 2026 resurgence with a second victory over Japan when the teams meet again this autumn. The Welsh side, currently ranked 11th in the world, sit one place above their Japanese opponents in the World Rugby rankings.
The fixture forms part of Wales' end-of-year international programme as they seek to build momentum heading into the next World Cup cycle. Japan, ranked 12th, have proven difficult opponents in recent years and will aim to level the series after losing the first encounter.
Both nations view the match as a key benchmark for their development programmes, with Wales aiming to consolidate their return to form under their current coaching setup.
