THE PREDICTION
Johnny Sexton will captain Ireland on his 100th international cap here for what could prove to be the match of the day against travelling Japan if their last meeting was anything to go by. Japan almost secured a famous victory at the Aviva Stadium back in July in a thrilling 39-31 defeat, admittedly against an under-strength home side with Lions players missing. The hosts will be expecting to cover more ground in this rematch with an almost full-strength side and Japan riding a four-match losing streak after a 23-32 defeat by Australia two weeks ago. Take Ireland to cover at least -16 here, double what they produced at the Aviva in July.
