The beauty of this tournament is that it shines a light on the second-tier nations like Japan. They have a win over Italy before losing to Ireland last week, and although they deserve plenty of credit for those performances, France could give them a rude awakening. France lost their opener to New Zealand before handing Australia a one-sided loss. They have played best in the second half, but they should dominate Japan from the outset to cover the -27.5 line, which is a fair assessment of this game from line setters.
