England Head Coach Eddie Jones welcomes Ugo Monye to Japan for the first instalment of O2’s six-part series. Eddie runs Ugo through the core Bushidō values and their crossover with rugby values, what the players should expect in terms of Japanese culture and shows him a few of his favourite spots in central Tokyo for ramen. #WearTheRose #O2

Ugo welcomes unlikely rugby fan Jamie Laing to Tokyo where they try their hands at sumo wrestling in the stables, dance mats in the arcade and get to meet a modern-day Samurai perform her art deep in the forest. Back at Twickenham, England trio Elliot Daly, Jamie George and Kyle Sinckler take a special interest in former sumo Grand Master Musashimaru Kōyō, and debate who they think will do best in each task as they watch along. #WearTheRose #O2

Ugo and Jamie visit a school in Yokohama to witness rugby being played at grass-roots level, and end up getting stuck in before trying their hand at another competitive Japanese pastime – karaoke. Back at Twickenham, England trio Sam Underhill, Anthony Watson and Jonathan Joseph watch along and are as equally amazed by one youngster’s magical sidesteps as they are by Jamie Laing’s karaoke choice. #WearTheRose #O2

An English rugby expat shows Ugo and Jamie around an Onsen – a traditional Japanese hot spring bath. After they’ve dried off, Jamie insists they spend some time in Mewkies cat café before heading off for an extravagant shell food feast. Back at Twickenham, England trio Sam Underhill, Anthony Watson and Jonathan Joseph watch along and talk cats vs dogs, day jobs and Ugo’s dad-bod. #WearTheRose #O2

Yogi, a Fijian rugby-themed bar owner in Osaka, shows Ugo and Jamie around his celebrated rugby shrine. Between checking out traditional markets and shopping malls, the pair take some time for guided meditation in a Buddhist Temple, something of a reminiscence for Ugo. Back at Twickenham, England trio Mako Vunipola, Joe Marler and Dan Cole watch along and argue over who would make the best-looking rugby god. #WearTheRose #O2

In the final episode of the series, Jamie gets his comeuppance for scoring on the youngsters in Yokohama served up in a real match on a gravel playing pitch. Later on, the duo sample some of the world-famous Kobe steak and discuss the popular legend that cows are reared with beer and massages (we didn’t have the heart to tell them it’s not actually true). Back at Twickenham, England trio Mako Vunipola, Joe Marler and Dan Cole enjoy watching Jamie try his hand at their game, and quibble over which of them is more muscly, marbled and similar to Kobe beef.
