The Japan Under 20 team have selected Wales as the location for a pre-tournament training camp and will challenge the famous student rugby team at their traditional home venue.

The 38-strong Japan tour party arrived last Thursday and is coached by Masahiro Kunda, captain of Japan at the Rugby World Cup 1995.

Ryuhei Arita, captain of the Under 20 squad, will also be well remembered for his hat-trick at last year’s Junior World Championship in Wales.

Admission to the game will be £3 for adults and £1 for Under 16s
