This will be the second head-to-head meeting between the two teams in this year's Top 12 tournament. On the eve of the match, a much-anticipated pre-match press conference awaits head coach Li Xiaopeng and captain Wu Xi at 4:30 p.m. on the 26th.
At the conference, captain Wu Xi confessed: "Challenging Japan away from home, we know that the support of our fans is a big help to our opponents and a big challenge to us. However, this is also where the opportunity lies. It's been a long time since we've played in front of a large number of fans, and it's definitely a boost to our mentality and excitement, which are all positive. We will do our best to try to take advantage of every opportunity."
