Yokohama Canon Eagles will host an open training session for fans to attend on Wednesday 25 September.
Canon, who lost the third-place play-off to Suntory Sungoliath in May, will welcome fans to witness their pre-season training session at Canon Sports Park (CSP) in Machida City.
The Kanagawa-based side’s training session will run from 09.30 - 11.30 with the club’s training base open from 09:15 - 11:45.
Fans will be able to see the likes of Yu Tamura, Jumpei Ogura, Amanaki Mafi and new signing Brendan Owen training.
Springboks stars Faf de Klerk and Jessie Kriel are expected to return to Japan in October. Klerk is currently injured (thigh) while Kriel is on Rugby Championship duty and is in the starting line-up to face Argentina on Saturday.
Centre Yusuke Kajimura, who will captain the team again next season, and prop Takato Okabe are both currently on international duty and are among Japan’s replacements for Saturday’s Pacific Nations Cup final against Fiji.
Kajimura said: “This season we are hoping to grow as a club, targeting the championship we didn't win last season. Thank you for your passionate support. Let’s go and claim the championship this season.”
Yokohama kick off their pre-season fixtures on 19 October against Saitama Panasonic Wild Knights at Kumagaya Sports and Culture Park Rugby Ground B.
