Japan will play two matches against a New Zealand side including the likes of Jonah Lomu and Carlos Spencer in May, Japanese officials said.
A "Classic All Blacks" side captained by Andrew Mehrtens will play Japan on May 9 in Kobe and three days later in Tokyo.
Japan will use the matches to prepare for this year's Pacific Six Nations tournament and the 2007 World Cup.
"We need games like this to give us confidence," said Japan coach John Kirwan, a former All Blacks great.
"It's very important that we compete. |

| How sad JK thinks Japan will be able to compete against the likes of Mehrts, Spencer and lomu. I think he may be due for another round of depression after the result. |

Wonder if they'll have Jamie Joseph kicking and punching anyone he can.
I guess the "roughness" of rugby is something Japan has to get used to but NZ rugby from 10 years ago or so was usually pretty dirty(Fitzpatrick was always doing something)
Shelford and Cowboy Shaw by contrast didn't really look to instigate,just to settle matters. |
