Those mascots do not say "rugby" to me in any way, shape, or form. Not as awful as the Olympics anime critters, though.

As mascots go, they certainly hit the spot.

They might have at least called them Rug and Bee!

Have to promote the World Cup to the masses in Japan. As of today, not everyone knows or even cares about the Rugby World Cup coming next year.

Cute!

Nobody does this better than Japan - although I'd rather Ren & Stimpy, myself!
