CARDIFF (Reuters) -Japan coach Eddie Jones has made two changes to his starting line-up for Saturday's test against Wales in Cardiff despite his side playing for a fourth successive weekend.

Jack Cornelsen replaces Ben Gunter on the flank while Keijiro Tamefusa comes in for Shuhei Takeuchi in the front row from the team that started last Saturday's 41-10 defeat by Ireland.
