Ireland v Japan – Autumn Nations Series

Aviva Stadium

Ireland return to Dublin for their second home fixture of the 2025 Quilter Nations Series, welcoming Japan to the Aviva Stadium in what promises to be a high-tempo, crowd-pleasing encounter. The Brave Blossoms last visited the Irish capital in 2021, a match remembered not only for Ireland’s dominant 60–5 win, but also for a moment of pure class: Johnny Sexton, celebrating his 100th cap, was presented with a ceremonial samurai sword by Japan captain Pieter Labuschagne—a gesture that captured the spirit of mutual respect between the two rugby cultures.
