The Jones-coached Japan side will be aiming to beat the Wallabies for the first time in an eighth Test meeting in Osaka on Saturday night. Tenth-ranked Japan, like Australia (No.8 in the world), lost to France and Ireland but beat Italy in their three-Test Nations Championship swing last month. "There's been seven official Test matches, we don't have a win yet so it's a fantastic opportunity for Japan to create new history," Jones said. Jones was the last man to take over the Wallabies mid-season, replacing Rod Macqueen in 2001. "Les and Joe had a pretty close relationship going back to when Les was in Ireland," Jones said when asked if he sensed an opportunity, given the Wallabies' handover period.
