Depleted All Blacks lose seventh player before Japan test

With all these key AB players pulling out, perhaps there has never been a better time for the Brave Blossoms to pounce at Ajinomoto Stadium? Bring it on!

Can Japan add NZ to their ever-growing list of scalps? Let's all hope so!

Go go Brave Blossoms!!

Fighto!.....

If you are going, you had better head for the National Stadium where the game is being played rather than Ajinomoto stadium.

Thanks for the heads up, sir!

My three-year-old's first live match, too. She's been practising her Ka Mate.

Beautiful! I suspect she'll be cheering at the end...but you never know!

Hope for a close and exciting game.
