He was one of two men called in the early RWC 41-strong party who were absent when Borthwick met his troops together at the Honda England Rugby Performance Centre, Pennyhill Park, on Monday evening. Sale loosehead prop Bevan Rodd was the other name lost from the original list, and while his absence may not be the biggest amazement. That of Underhill may raise eyebrows and scorn the level of competition in the back row.

The one mutual grumble about the England Rugby World Cup kit

England is the latest team to disclose their RWC 2023 jerseys and following their release, there is a common complaint. The men’s and women’s kits, planned by Umbro, were both out on Tuesday. The kits feature what Umbro labels as contoured functional knit panelling and a structure that moves with the body, giving players a feeling of power and sureness in their performance.

The white home shirt is intended to emphasise burly biomechanics, while the rich navy substitute shirt provides a regal visual. With England’s main home colours being white and red, Umbro has kept the design for the men’s France Rugby World Cup 2023 jersey quite simple. According to Umbro’s site, the fans’ copy jersey will set you back at least £80, £65 for the kids, while the pro sport shirt will cost an enormous £120.

The price of Rugby World Cup 2023 kits

Not a bad kit but the values are mental. Looking at £80 at least if you want to get the RWC kit. I recall when these were about £50! one fan wrote on Twitter. Saracens Rugby added, plain, dull, and very costly. Can’t see Umbro winning many more rugby contracts with basic T-shirts like this. England Rugby’s tweet revealing the new jersey was filled with answers linked to the price of the jersey.

One England Rugby World Cup fan said, do we need yet another new shirt costing upwards of £70? What happened to the days of keeping a shirt for 2/3 seasons? Rise you don’t have to buy it but still no need to keep changing every year Imo. Rugby fans can buy England Rugby World Cup Tickets at exclusively discounted prices.

Still finding feet, Japan unwavering in Rugby World Cup 2023 training

While Japan remains winless in its RWC planning with plenty of errors to be fixed, head coach Jamie Joseph and his players remain attentive to stepping up and delivering when things matter at the competition in France. On Saturday, the mood around Kumamoto’s Egao Kenko Stadium was somewhat raised late on after an attacking spell, during which Semisi Masirewa went over twice to make the score look decent at 41-27 against the All Blacks XV.

The result followed a more one-sided 38-6 loss to the touring team by a Japan XV a week earlier in Tokyo. The latest contest had been all but wrapped with just under half an hour to play and Japan trailing 41-13 following an excess of errors including knock-ons from reputable players Shota Horie and first-time captain Kazuki Himeno. I think generally we played Japan rugby, said flanker Jack Cornelsen, happy with his team handling to create openings that were few and far between in the first game of the series.

The area we can progress a little bit is the scrum and we made a few sloppy errors in the lineouts with any luck that gives us the platform to attack. All Blacks XV trainer Leon MacDonald pointed out that the hosts threw away chances that could have swung the result. We knew that the second game was going to be very changed, he said. We knew that Jamie would select a more solid team for France Rugby World Cup. Rugby fans can buy Japan Rugby World Cup Tickets at exclusively discounted prices.

Japan Rugby World Cup team has to work on errors

I thought the Japanese spell, particularly in the second half, was very hard for us to stop. The ball carters were able to go pretty straight with their attack. Japan’s errors kept us in the game, else it could have been a very fitted game. All Blacks XV captain Brad Weber described the Brave Blossoms’ defence as a big step up from last week, but with the likes of hat-trick hero Billy Proctor frequently finding gaps in the line, there still appears to be room for big perfections.

Our couple of first-half tries were from turnover attack, I thought they were pretty deadly, Weber said. We certainly thrive off errors and turnovers, but Japan certainly dared us around the ruck. It’s tough to go through there so we tried to go wide this time. Joseph, happy with contributions from lock Amato Fakatava and up-and-coming centre Tomoki Osada, said his team will uphold its identity and use the defeats to build toward the Sept. 8 to Oct. 28 RWC.

It’s not through lack of struggle, it was because we were playing a very good rugby team and as soon as you make one error against New Zealand, they are going to punish you, the RWC 2023 head coach said. We don’t want to stop the way we’ve been playing the game; we need to keep refining and maintain that sureness about the way we want to play. I’m very proud of my team we just got to be there, each week.

Japan Rugby World Cup team coach is happy with the squad

Additional scrumhalf Yutaka Nagare, whose outline added tempo to the Japanese attack in his home region of Kyushu, vowed to get the win in a week in Sapporo in a France Rugby World Cup rehearsal against Group C rival Samoa. We have to win when we put the Brave Blossoms’ jerseys on and it’s unsatisfactory to lose, he said. It will be a real test game from the next game and we’ll have a good training to win it.
