Wales will look to snap their 17-game losing streak when they begin their summer tour of Japan on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Welsh rugby is seeking to rebuild after plunging to a new low in a 68-14 defeat to England in their final Six Nations game in March \u2013 and ending their historic run of defeats, which started in October 2023, would be a good place to start.<\/p>\n
Interim coach Matt Sherratt has been charged with leading them on tour and will be without star duo Jac Morgan and Tomos Williams, who are with the Lions in Australia.<\/p>\n
Wales will view a two-match series against a Japan team that are rebuilding themselves as an opportunity but cannot afford to underestimate a side that could hurt them.<\/p>\n
They will face a familiar foe in former England coach Eddie Jones, who is back in charge of the hosts, while soaring temperatures and high humidity are expected to have an impact on Saturday’s game.<\/p>\n
