The All Blacks are monitoring reports of a typhoon approaching Japan which could affect their travel to Nagoya on Friday and several important games this weekend.
Super Typhoon Hagibis was forecast to hit the south-west of the country but has changed course and is now projected to hit the south-east near Tokyo and Yokohama.
According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, Hagibis is currently classed as "violent", with gusts as strong as 270km/hr. It is forecast to weaken before it nears Japan but will still be "very strong".
The All Blacks are travelling to Nagoya by train on Friday afternoon for their match against Italy a day later at Toyota City, just over 300km south-west of Tokyo.
