Second-rower Matías Alemanno, No8 Rodrigo Bruni, loose head prop Facundo Gigena, and fullback Juan Cruz Mallía have all been ruled out of the tour due to injury.

Probably no need for a match thread, but this is the Japan squad for their game v Portugal:
Media release: http://en.rugby-japan.jp/2021/11/12/brave-blossoms-team-announced-ahead-of-portugal-match/
Hawke's Bay supporters will remember Grant Dearns (former Magpies Strength and Conditioning coach). His and Tanya Dearns' son Warner (a lock of more than 2m) has been named on the bench for his Japan debut.
