Japan rugby fans

Show one of the great things about Rugby. There are a couple of Chile fans also in the photo. No fighting, no animosity, no abuse and probably sharing a beer.

Are you watching soccer....?

I wonder why rugby is so popular in Japan and why its considered a sport for future ‘elites’

Well said, Mr Kipling.

Fans can have an exceedingly good time at the rugby, sharing beers and banter with rival fans.

Sadly fans are sometimes exchanging insults, punches - and worse - in international football tournaments.

Yuuji: " wonder why rugby is so popular in Japan"

Especially given the majoriy of the team are non-Japanese. It is a surprisingly GOOD thing, I think, but largely ignored and not considered an option on most facets of life here.

still dont understand! Why?!

So many World Cups and championships going on how does a Japanese bandwagon fan manage to support them all?
