Wales meet Eddie Jones’ Japan in a two-match collection, with the primary Check in Kitakyushu on 5 July and the second in Kobe on 12 July.
Thomas is likely one of the most skilled gamers within the squad and sees similarities with the 2022 tour of South Africa as Wales bid to finish their terrible run of outcomes.
Wales misplaced that collection 2-1 towards the world champions, however they received the second Check – their first ever victory on South African soil – having been crushed narrowly by three factors within the opening match.
“The final summer season tour we had with this type of block was South Africa, 4 or 5 weeks collectively earlier than we went,” mentioned Thomas.
“We do not have that chance within the autumn and Six Nations to have this time collectively. So this time has been actually good for us.”
Ospreys prop Thomas hopes Wales will acquire their first worldwide victory since October 2023.
“We’re all determined to get that win now and switch the nook,” mentioned Thomas.
“I feel there’s a proficient group right here and boys who’ve been in it for some time and on this shedding streak, it does get to you.
“We’d like it, we’re determined for it.
“The work we have put within the final 5 weeks, there’s plenty of effort gone into it, and hopefully it reveals in Japan that we are able to flip the nook.”
