Japan coach slams clubs over All Blacks stance


WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Japan rugby coach Eddie Jones slammed the country's clubs for their lack of support for the national team on the day it was announced the World Cup-winning All Blacks would play the 'Brave Blossoms' in November.

The match in Tokyo on November 2 will be the third official test between the two sides after they met in World Cup games in 1995 and 2011. The All Blacks also played two matches in Japan in 1987 but those games were not awarded test status.
