The Chilean team Los Cóndores will finally have their long-awaited and historic debut in the Rugby World Cup in France this Sundaywhere their participation will begin with a demanding match with Japan in Group A.
At the Toulouse Stadium the national squad will start his first adventure in a planetary event, fruit of a tremendous qualifying path in which they left powers like the United States and Canada on the road.
Although those led by Pablo Lemoine did not add victories in their warm-up friendlies, with defeats against fellow World Cup winners Uruguay, Namibia and two setbacks against Argentina XV, the spirit within the entire team is one of the best.
“We have had opportunities to prepare ourselves mentally, to be present and be responsible for the opportunity we are having. Everyone on the team takes the weight of what we are experiencing,” Alfonso Escobar stated before the match.
With this panorama, it is expected that the Chilean lineup chosen by Lemoine to face the Japanese it is with Javier Carrasco, Diego Escobar, Matías Dittus, Clemente Saavedra, Javier Eissmann, Martín Sigren (captain), Raimundo Martínez, Alfonso Escobar, Marcelo Torrealba, Rodrigo Fernández, Franco Velarde, Matías Garafulic, Domingo Saavedra, Santiago Videla and Iñaki Ayarza.
Japan, for its part, comes into this match with a negative record, in which they suffered defeats against Tonga, Samoa, Fiji and Italy, celebrating only one victory against Tonga.
The Asians will try to get off to a good start and with the aim of repeat what was done in the 2019 World Cup, in which they reached the quarterfinals, eliminating Ireland or Scotland.
Posiblemente Japón forme con: Semisi Masirewa, Kotaro Matsushima, Dylan Riley, Ryoto Nakamura, Jone Naikabula, Rikiya Matsuda, Yutaka Nagare, Kazuki Himeno (c), Kanji Shimokawa, Michael Leitch, Amato Fakatava, Jack Cornelsen, Jiwon Gu, Atsushi Sakate y Keita Inagaki.
The match will be played this Sunday from 8:00 a.m. of our country, and you can follow it with the coverage of AlAireLibre.cl.
