'It's a tight turnaround for us with plenty of our players in the Super Rugby Pacific final [last] Saturday night and then coming straight into this environment. Selections were tough, and our coaching group spent quite some time together to make sure we had the right mix to take the field in Tokyo. We are determined to right a wrong from our last game in Aichi in 2024.'
