The team news is in and Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend has made seven changes from the team that lost to the Springboks last week. Darcy Graham and Sam Johnson replace Rufus McLean and Matt Scott in the backline, while Glasgow Warriors prop Jamie Bhatti is joined by George Turner in the pack. Josh Bayliss starts at No 8 after an impressive debut off then bench against Australia.
The Bravehearts head to Murrayfield in mixed form having claimed a third successive victory over Australia with a well deserved 15-13 win on home soil a couple of weeks back, before falling 15-30 to the Springboks last weekend.
With the 2023 World Cup looming large on the horizon, Townsend will want to see his side lay down a marker against Japan and round off the 2021 Autumn Internationals with a convincing victory.
As for Japan, they might be rank outsiders but let's not forget that they stunned Scotland 28-21 at the Rugby World Cup a couple of years ago.

Going to be away from the UK when the rugby's on? Simply use a VPN to access the UK version of Amazon Prime from anywhere in the world, without being geo-blocked. We recommend ExpressVPN. You can try it 100 per cent risk-free thanks to the 30-day money-back guarantee.
Watch Scotland vs Japan from abroad using a VPN
Even if you have subscribed to the relevant 2021 Autumn Internationals rights holders, you won't be able to access them when outside your own country. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this obstacle. VPNs are a doddle to use and create a private connection between your device and the internet. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.
There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such as ExpressVPN which offers a 100 per cent risk-free money back guarantee. If you're not happy with the service any time within the first 30-days, then you can cancel with no penalties at all.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. ExpressVPN is the one we recommend.
2. Open up the VPN app and choose the location of the service you wish to access. For the rugby, you may wish to choose 'UK' to access Amazon Prime.
3. Then head over to Amazon Prime on your browser or device and enjoy a Scotland vs Japan live stream.
If, for whatever reason, you can't get it working, then do remember that you have the comfort of a 30-day money back guarantee with ExpressVPN. You could also try NordVPN, which also comes with a 30-day money back guarantee, and Surfshark which offers 24 hour assistance.
