Analysis: Australia, despite being the Australia, brings a higher quality squad and depth to this friendly. Japan has shown improvement but historically struggles against Tier 1 nations. The match is likely to see both teams scoring tries given the open nature of friendly internationals, but Australia's superior skill set gives them the edge.
