Not good news for Japan but of course expected and predictable like almost everything in rugby for national teams. Still Japan can beat them.
8 countries, or regions in the world , play top rugby, 3 or 4 passable rugby, the others are amateurs having fun( nothing wrong with that) and try to naturalize as many NZ, Australian and South African players as possible.

Not limited to southerners. Plenty of Brits & Irish (Hong Kong) or French (Spain, North Africa & more generally francophone countries) also play for other NT. Pretty sure a few Georgian players will soon be targeted by other tier 2/3 -or even tier 1- nations too. (not to forget PI guys)
That's why international rugby is a bit of a joke.
