Saturday, kick-off 14:30 Principality StadiumWales and Rob Howley will look to build on their 24-20 victory over Argentina last weekend when Japan visit Cardiff on Saturday.Wales winning record, eight wins and one defeat, doesnt appear to be under threat from a side that has struggled to find the form which saw them defeat South Africa at last years World Cup and narrowly miss out on qualification to the knock-out stages on bonus points.Despite their victory over the Pumas last week, Wales need to find that killer instinct. They allowed Argentina back into a game that should have been done before the final quarter. It is a much changed Welsh side, but with Gareth Abscombe finally given the keys to the halfback kingdom for the very first time, we could see Wales play without the burden of expectation and with a licence to thrill.Team newsWales have made 10 changes to the team that beat Argentina last weekend, but despite the reshuffle, it is a side that poses a massive attacking threat. Jamie Roberts is restored to a back-line that sees Liam Williams start at full-back and Leigh Halfpenny start on the wing for the first time since the 2011 World Cup. Warburton is given the captains armband while 18 year-old Keelan Giles should make his debut from the replacements bench.Japan have made four changes to the team that beat Georgia last week, with wingers Akihito Yamada and Kenki Rukuoka been giving starting roles. The other changes sees prop Kensuke Hatakeyama and lock Samuela Anise come into the starting fifteen.Wales: Liam Williams, Halfpenny, J Davies, Roberts, Cuthbert, Anscombe, Lloyd Williams; Smith, Baldwin, Lee, Hill, Jones, Lydiate, Warburton, King. Replacements: Dacey, Gill, Andrews, Ball, Moriarty, G Davies, S Davies, Giles.Japan: Matsushima, Yamada, Lafaele, Tatekawa, Fukuoka, Tamura, Tanaka; Nakatani, Horie, Hatakeyama, Kajikawa, Anise, Ilaua, Nunomaki, Mafi. Replacemments: Hino, Yamamoto, Ito, Helu, Matsuhashi, Mimura, Uchida, Lotoahea.dddddddddddd.Key head-to-headIf Japan have any chance of an upset, the boot of Yu Tamura will be vital in keeping the scoreboard ticking over. He tagged on two penalties last week but the one conversion from four tries against Georgia will not be good enough. For Wales, it is a trip into the unknown as Gareth Anscombe takes his first start at fly-half. There is no doubting his ability but whether he can stamp a real claim on the fly-half position is a different story.Key stats* The countries have met on nine occasions. Wales lead the series 8-1.* Wales record win against Japan was a 98-0 success in Cardiff 12 years ago, while Japans sole victory came in the 2013 summer tour, in a 23-8 win in Tokyo.* Wales have scored a total of 289 points during four previous Test match encounters at home against Japan.* Japans victory over Georgia in Tbilisi last weekend was their first win since Jamie Joseph took over as head coach.WeatherThe weather in Cardiff is never an issue with the roof at the Principality but it will be dry and cloudy for the game.VerdictWales have far too much firepower in their back-line and if they get an early score, will go on to record a comprehensive victory. The tries will come but nothing less than a demolition against Japan will do. Keenan Giles should be unleashed and his performance will also answer questions on whether hes ready for the international Test arena. With Liam Williams at full-back, any aimless kicking from Japan is going to be punished. Wales have stuttered so far in the autumn series and this provides them with a perfect opportunity to answer critics and lay down a marker ahead of the visit of South Africa next week. Expect them to win by 30. ' ' '
