Jamie Joseph has re-signed as head coach of Japan, inking a deal to stay with the Brave Blossoms until the end of 2023.
Joseph led Japan to their first Rugby World Cup quarter-final earlier this year, including a famous victory over Ireland, after which Japan temporarily reached an all-time high of sixth on the world rankings.
