France<\/div>\n
Saturday 18th July 6:40 PM (AEST) at Japan National Stadium, Tokyo<\/div>\n

This is Japan\u2019s biggest game in years, and it gives them a chance to showcase their improved style of play. Japan scored an upset win over Italy to get things started in the Nations Championship before losing to Ireland 38-20. That was a credible effort, and if they can bring that passion to the field on Saturday, they should cover the +27.5 spread. It\u2019s a big number for a French team playing slightly below its best, and we have France winning 36-18, which is enough for Japan +27.5 to come through for punters.<\/p>\n
