England v Japan: Eddie Jones sets sights on chaos and upset
- On Saturday, England hosts Japan at Allianz Stadium Twickenham in the Nations Championship, with head coach Steve Borthwick making 10 personnel changes following a record 45-22 victory over Australia.
- Japan head coach Eddie Jones returns to his former home ground, though his side faces a critical selection challenge with star fly-half Ryunosuke Ito competing for Meiji University instead of the national team.
- George Ford returns at fly-half to lead the squad, while Henry Pollock earns his first international start at number eight after scoring two tries in last week's 45-22 win against the Wallabies.
- Jones, who labeled his team "massive underdogs," intends to "cause some havoc" to disrupt an England side potentially distracted by their high-profile clash against the All Blacks next week.
- Japan's reliance on homegrown talent, where university commitments often supersede international availability, reflects a unique development model that challenges their consistency at the highest level of world rugby.
