Japan Rugby team coach Jamie Joseph says some Japan players are paid $36 a day while on tour.
Amateur players based in Japan receive $36 a day for their northern hemisphere autumn tour, while England players earn £27,000 per cap.
Joseph says his players have "different motivators" to the larger nations and that the amateur players are "employees of companies".
He adds to play a team like England is a great opportunity for a rugby team and rugby player.
Joseph says their professional players ‑ the foreign‑based players ‑ do not get paid for playing for Japan.
Japan will play England at 4am Sunday.
