Wales to return to Japan for summer tour
Wales are returning to Japan as part of their 2020 summer tour, the Welsh Rugby Union has announced.
Wales will face the Brave Blossoms at the end of June at a venue still to be announced, before going on to play two Test matches in New Zealand.
The squad spent eight weeks in Japan last year where they reached the semi-finals of the World Cup.
Both the players and fans spoke out about the warm welcome they received during the tournament.
After playing the Japanese on June 27, Wales will take on the All Blacks in Auckland on July 4 and Wellington on July 11.
Wales head coach Wayne Pivac said: "Going back to Japan for Wales will be a really big fixture on the back of a really successful RWC for Japan as hosts both on and off the field.
"The squad and WRU made a huge impression on the country in the lead up to and during the RWC and attracted a lot of local support so it will be great to take the squad back to Japan for the first summer Test."
