We hope you’ve rinsed out the badness of last week’s disappointing result against New Zealand as Ireland get ready to go again today at the Aviva Stadium. Japan are in town and Andy Farrell will be hoping to produce a big response in front of a home crowd. Eddie Jones’ side are also coming into this tie on the back of a loss to South Africa last weekend so it’s all nicely poised for the 12.40pm kick-off. Today’s game is live on RTÉ and TNT, and we’ll be bringing you through all the updates live from the Aviva. As always, Murray Kinsella and Ciarán Kennedy will be providing in-depth coverage from the game too. We’ll have the team line-ups for you in the next few moments along with any late team changes that may occur, so do stay with us. Advertisement Related Reads Casey: 'I'm very ambitious.
